'Nuff said, about your tolerance and manners, and the utter lack of substance to yours and Dale's argument.

 

[BenLaw]

This is just ridiculous now. Let it ******* go.

So that's tolerant and well mannered? You're rude first, you then call him racist without foundation, you then swear at me and you have the temerity to call someone else intolerant and poorly mannered. You absolute hypocrite.

Back to the discussion in hand, Nyquist's theory was from 1928 and Shannon's from 1948, so the suggestion that this was some corporate digital conspiracy from the 1970s or 1980s is baffling to say the least. In the absence of a lack of any contradictory science of course.

I can't edit the post, but the double negative in the last sentence obviously shouldn't be there. One or the other of absence / lack of.

You see all you can do is throw insults and insinuations. I am merely asking for links to where Nyquist theory has been superceded. If they exist and turn out to be authentic science, then I will apologise and adjust my views accordingly. You haven't given me anything conrete whatsoever. "The digital world has long ago passed (sic) you and Nyquist"...please, elaborate, or if you can't elaborate with evidence, science and proofs (which Nyquist still can), then your words are nothing but ramblings. "We know today that listening to sine waves of 20 khz isn't comparable to listening to an orchestral crescendo in a highres system." Ignoring the obvious fact that the sentence is a truism (listening to an orchestral cresendo on a mono radio isn't comparible to listening to sine waves in a highres system either, but so what? )Who knows? Just you and your expectation bias? Or someone who can demonstrate that theory scientifically?

"Authentic science" is what? Something you worship at an altar? I don't know about your country (well, actually I do - your country is as ruthless and corrupt as the U.S. when it comes to pushing a product or technology for profit, and cooking the science books in the process).

I think what you need to do is go back to school and learn how business works. The people behind the Nyquist thing weren't some little nobodies who had a marvelous idea that sailed into being one day. They cooked the books with backing from the Giant corporations who stood to make new billions from reselling the same crappy recordings, now in "digital quality" format that they'd been selling to suckers on vinyl, reel to reel, cassette, 8-track - you name it.

Ah that's where it was. Given the date of Nyquist and then Shannon, would you like to reassess these assertions Dale?

Ooh, I nearly missed this thread.

Ooh indeed. Watching now though...

But not closely enough, clearly. Locked now though.

kthxbai.
