Analog vs. digital segment on PBS


The show "Wired Science" on PBS this week has a good segment on analog vs. digital with a relatively quick blind panel test on analog vs. digital. I think they replay the show during the week if you can catch it. Nice to see some of the hobby getting some primetime attention, if PBS can be considered primetime of course! They have a couple recording engineers speaking about the merits of each and a blind listening test between a recording group (whose music they use for the test) and some unbiased recording engineers.
Also some info on frozen brains... either way it's a great show for general technology every week.

I don't think they said what the final playback was from. They did an A/B on the fly "probably" from a digital platform. This would mean it was AAD vs DDD. Did they say what playback was from? Did I miss that? For true A/D comparison playback would have had to have been from the R/R recorder they used vs a digital platform .
