384khz?

Starch to sugar % is a fact not an opinion.

it was a joke, not a serious post.

Constipate you too unless basically brown as the starch sucks fluids from the digestive tract.

Lol!

Next you're going to suggest there are aspects to the way that sound functions which, due to being measurable and repeatable, you'll want to call 'facts' and try to use them to develop some sort of useful understanding.

Why should I do that Marc? I find your tone a little niggly.

[Rothchild]

Niggly might be a good word for it, not that I intend to rub you up the wrong way in anything but a good-humoured way, but i am trying to eek (niggle?) out an understanding of where and why folk draw a line between the 'facts' they are willing to accept affect perception (the sugar/starch content and the sweetness of a banana) and the ones they don't (the ability of digital sampling to accurately represent audio spectrum).

Given that a page or so ago you agreed with Gazjam, that using spectroscopy to analyse the chemical content of wine could say nothing about the how that wine might taste, it seemed like rather a turn for you to then argue against Macca's post, retorting the reason for a banana tasting the way that it did was because of a 'fact' about it's chemistry.

Now, it may be that I missed the irony in your response to an already ironic post, in which case I'm sorry, it doesn't however undermine the credibility of the notion that there is a sensible place between pure objectivity and pure subjectivity where physics and psychology/perception can co-exist and enable us to put together good hifi systems without wandering 'lost in the dark' or of never enjoying any music because we're more interested in a frequency graph.

It's all bananas!

fantastic comments guys

384, fruit, wine and light bulbs!

Tell me Mr.Einstein: Is 384KHz (sound wave) faster than a light bulb (light wave)?

...did someone mention light? ...fiber optics Vs. coax Vs. USB Vs. Phono and its effect with regard to 384KHz?

This could become one of the most: fascinating, informative, humorous, illuminating, good humored threads on A.O.S.!

...let it rip people! ...let it rip! ...enjoying every comment

[Rothchild]

Just back to offer Jimbo a proper apology.

James, I'm sorry.

I looked back and realised that you had actually quoted the post by 'the doc' (in support of Gazjam) I was thinking of, so the post that I'd thought was yours was actually 'the docs' and I therefore mis-attributed an assertion you had not made.

There are certain conditions where sound will move faster than light, through a brick wall for instance ;-)

The link I posted earlier points out that the 55picosecond transient resolution of the redbook standard equates to a lightspeed distance of less than 3cm, pretty quick.

Starch is osmotically inert so won't have any effect on water flow into the gut. However, once it's hydrolysed by gut enzymes to its constituent components (based on glucose), then it will.


...nothing to do with hi-fi though...

Constipate you too unless basically brown as the starch sucks fluids from the digestive tract.
