Next up: What is room pressurization?

[Bruce B]

Actually, I think it was Bruce who said he could hear it before the needle hit the groove. I never have. Tim

No... I said before the music starts playing while the needle is in the groove and between tracks.

A room is pressurized before the music even starts (or between tracks) on an LP. You don't need music to pressurize a room.

No Tim, actually it was Bob (me) who said that he can feel that pressurization before the needle hits the album's grooves. :b
{Bruce said that it was when the needdle was already in the grooves at the beginning and between the tracks, without having real music content.}

* And that has to do with the cartridge (arm pickup) registering my own room's ambiance with all there is mechanical and not.

P.S. Oops, I just read Bruce's above post. Which confirms what I just said. :b

Sorry, Bruce, my bad. Doesn't sound like something you'd say. I hear what you hear.

Pressurization can also be used to describe an emotional 'pressure', in your guts, an uneasy feeling of some kind of intellectual incertitude, or dream sequence intertwined with reality, a sense of hallucination ...

And yes, I am totally serious.

I get it, Bob ....

Good, Frank. :b

Yeah, but you're talking about actual math, Frantz. I'm referring to the romantic notion that digital, regardless of its resolution rate, is a mere sample of analog, that analog has infinite resolution. There is a lot of denial in that romance, for sure, but I'm trying to be a kinder, gentler Tim here. Cut me some slack.

Tim

I don't think even the most analog diehard will be crazy enough to say Analog has infinite resolution although I'm sure you're just being witty Analog's quantization can be calculated. It's been done for film and video as well as photography and digital photography. As in film vs 1080p what you will notice in capture are more gradations. Strangely enough, when film is transferred to 1080p via telecine, the gradations remain largely intact better than DVD anyway. Depending on the ASA these can be sharp or grainy. Same goes for tape and +dB ratings. I'm just theorizing at this point but I can imagine how the added cumulative gradations can really make the presentation denser which to me is synonymous with making images more solid which requires more excitation in whatever area of space an image takes up as a result of L and R summing at that position. Now will you be able to measure this? I believe so but not from the usual 1m at 2.83v.

I'm sure you're just being witty

Not at all, I've seen it written in quite a few audiophile posts. By people who are devoid of humor on the subject of analog vs. digital.

Hey Tim, sorry for this small & quick interruption, but how do you feel so far to be a simple member,
without the moderator's responsabilities?

 

[fas42]

The last word you use around Tim is "simple" ... ...

Frank

 

[NorthStar]

"Simple" could also mean complex in a certain way.

Eg.; You are at church on a Sunday morning, simply praying;
then all of a sudden you are hearing the angels sing all around you,
and a bright light blue light comes down from the sky and through the church's roof!
You quickly run outside for cover, but you just cannot outrun your destiny! :b

* Simple, but not so simple ...

... Talk 'bout 'pressurization'! :b

It's good. How's that for simple?

Tim

 

[NorthStar]

Sounds good enough to me. :b

* Less 'pressurization' perhaps ...
