still do on my home recording gear). There are guys that I have met that could
hear an anomaly in an audio fader that I needed test gear to see. My point is we
all have a certain threshold of what we can experience and I agree that
technology will surpass what our ears can differentiate. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN contentEditable=false style="DISPLAY: inline-block"></SPAN>I would
expect advances in that domain as well. Frequency and amplitude of the squares
and rise/fall time degradation are the keys. I would argue that if technology
doesn't exist today in digital (that is superior to the best analog), it will
exist some time in the future. And you are right about ear response. Of
course, tinnitis has settled in mine so it doesn't make a hill of beans
difference to me.</DIV>

<DIV>Sounds like Gov'Ment job to me. Joe is sitting back, giggling, tickled

<DIV>If you can get an unadulterated signal<SPAN
style="DISPLAY: inline-block"></SPAN> to a Denon driving a pair of JBL
L7's, you will get amazing HiFi. Generating an unadulterated signal is the
trick and, in theory anyway, extraction with light is better than any
scratched vinyl could even be, and I don't care how fine a needle you
used</DIV>
