Default Real 'borgs don't spin vinyl

Your technojabber is probably pointless enough for the 'borgs to accept you.
However, you need to upgrade your wetware to eliminate foolish questions
such as this one:

does this make any audible difference in practice


Er, what is this all about - I dont see why this is a foolish question.
Some folks argue
that some properties of LP give rise to superior transient response to
CD, this may make
LP *audibly* superior in some respects - I see it as a legit question.
If I am using an incorrect
technical term I am happy to being corrected, but I see no need to get
rude.


If you want to be a 'borg and fixate on meaningless measurements, then you
must forswear all reliance on subjective criteria. You can't have it both
ways: A human being cares about sound and a 'borg cares about measurements.
If you are ready to get fully implanted and assimilated, you must be willing
to stop wondering if anything is audible.


Well, I would contend that some measurements at least are meaningful,
such as
SNR which would indicate how much extraneous noise a system has, and
would
humbly suggest that less noise would be better - within the limits of
human perception
of course.

I dont know preciesely what you mean by "be a borg" , but I assume it
is an insult, this seems
somewhat uncalled for.
