How Science Got Sound Wrong


I don't believe I've posted this before or if it has been posted before but I found it quite interesting despite its technical aspect. I didn't post this for a digital vs analog discussion. We've beat that horse to death several times. I play 90% vinyl. But I still can enjoy my CD's.

Ok you're getting much too technical. When I play analog there is more toe tapping, body movements etc with keeping to the beat. I don't have that same experience playing digital much at all. Taking to account the wow and flutter of analog playback systems then I should be toe tapping etc much more to digital! Maybe the analogy of tubes vs solid state would fit here. Tubes have much more distortion but the harmonics are not as offensive as solid state. Just rattling off here. 
So are we hearing distortions in the electronics? Digital filters not removing all distortions and disrupting electronics downstream. There is something going on that people hear. 
Another post hijacked. Why is this allowed. I thought the OP had an important point but this has descended into immaturity pure and simple.
Our eyes can see to 324 megapixels. The best digital photography can have 20 megapixel resolution. It wouldn't be a far guess that we not only hear with our ears but with our brains and bodies as well. Just because someone can't hear it doesn't mean the other person can't. The human hearing system may be more sensitive that science can measure
