The more i think about it, the more i realize that analog and digital recordings are the same animal. Sound waves and thier analog recordings are a continous collection of particles that are variablly positioned at a specified distance from a refernce level. Digital recordings are logarithmic (base ...

True; there is no true infinite for anything, in true reality, but analogue is definitely way ahead; take your example; microfiche holds truly unbelievable detail in a tiny space. I liken the finest digital printing technologies available to be about as close to microfiche as digital is to analogue...

Edward Ng, the qaulity of the recorded sound depends on the resolution of the media, The maximum resolution of vinyl stops far short of the quantum world, there is no infinite. Ever compare a microfiche film of a newpaper to a high resolution scan? At some point both will become grainy. It makes sen...

Well, in my case I've grown up listening to lots of live, unamplified actual music, mostly classical and jazz. I use that as a reference point when I'm listening to recorded music. Analog LP's win out over digital nearly 100% of the time. The rare exception is usually an LP that comes from a digita...

I have a SilenX 350W PSU myself, and it is indeed very quiet. They have great service, and it's a shame the way they acted here in the forums. I myself was "fooled" into buying one, even though I do not regret the purchase. However I think the SilenX PSUs are a bit pricey considering its only a mod...

I think feed back noise is the least anoying, it's the constant noise that annoys me. If our keyboards had fans and made noise 24/7 i think we'd pay alot more attention to them.

I think the most reliable / simplest solution would be to have two cords in the cooler box, one being AC in, and the second having a female plug that would connect to the PC PSU. Make the computer power cord connect to the same switch that turns on the power to the pump. Assuming the customer follo...

Its obvious that there are going to be 3 settings, on off and auto. The auto will be hooked to a relay of some sorts. Rather than hook the relay to a complicated finicky power sensing cuircuit, hook it up to a PSU extention cable, that will hook up to a PSU molex connector inside the case, run out t...

It would be ironic, someone should get a sample and test it, for free of course, no-one should pay for a sample cause that would be supporting pccooler.
