@mdalton  I think we should invite steakster and teach him a thing or two about digital audio 😁

@steakster  So, I make you laugh; and you liken me to a prominent American intellectual who was renowned for his sharp wit and intelligence. We are going to get along great! 😃

The so-called ’digital realm’ takes place on an analog carrier. The link below is a worthwhile read. It is an enlightening discussion about 1’s & 0’s and square waves by AudiogoN veterans: - Almarg (physicist & multiple patent holder, R...

Hey what about Synergistic Research's Electronic Circuit Transducers? They too don't need power to work. Not only do they transform ordinary electronics to the extraordinary, but they also look pretty, like tea lights floating weightlessly on lot...
