there is GENUINE musical content to past 50kHz 

 

 

my dolphin told me there was no musical content up there

 

who told YOU otherwise?

[Ralf11]

@jabbr - while I appreciate your caution in preservation of everything, does your desired goal exclude all processing, even processing that is clearly euphonic?

 

e.g. Dave's Picks (and some of the later Dick's Picks) uses processing to give a more euphonic sound

 

then there is the issue of purely digital recordings, where some ultrasonics may negatively affect 'euphonicity'

 

I think we need to clearly distinguish recording from delivery.

 

 

and BTW, I'd pick a Fallot mustard every time - unless I could use the best mustard from Provence* (or those ones in the foil tubes)

 

 

* yes, I DID do a blind taste test on the Provence vs. the Fallot - 2 different humans; 3 trials each

re " to close my eyes and feel like I’m at a live performance. To promote the hallucination of “being there”."

 

do this mean you are going Kal-ish?  multi-channel...

 

my (theoretical or conceptual) problem with relying on the mastering engineer is that the mastering may be be directed at a delivery system that differs from my delivery system (e.g. the egregious spectre of mastered for iPhooey, or mp3)

 

then there is the ability to lift veils in the future as in the Dick's Pxxx example above

 

I agree that the masters should be preserved.

While I agree with your mustard choice anecdotally, neither of us are pros.  You can tell she is a pro because she wears a mustard colored scarf.

Also never had a mustard tasting party.

If its okay to use beer as a palate cleanser between tastings I might be convinced to give it a go. 

 

Thanks - sent the first link to my partner in (moutarde) crime

 

here is the best mustard (without truffles):

 

 

 

 

I will never tell anyone that they will never want anything higher resolution than 16/44.1 ...

 

I might tell them to test various nit/bit rates on their lighting system or personal hygiene / music selections

[Ralf11]

it didn't tell you anything about musical content, only sound (ultrasound) content

[Ralf11]

that isn't music - have some common sense

I agree, but that is why maybe if it makes them money, they might do this with one song per album released.  Sort of free publicity and extended attention in the marketplace.  

 

not sure, but your mix might escape their copyright - i.e. "a new work"

 

 

[Ralf11]

I regard overspec'ing as akin to safety margins - which are found in engineered structures (e.g. bridges) and in evolved structures (e.g. your bones) - the value cannot be determine w/o knowing the incremental cost.

[Ralf11]

I am not seeing much common sense in your post, just some unsupported assertions

[Ralf11]

I'm just glad he didn't say "all y'all"

 

 

not sure I agree with that last stmt. esl - I suspect however that going to higher sample rates is not the most cost effective way to improve most home systems in major ways

[Ralf11]

one of the craziest things he's said yet

[Ralf11]

Actually, I guess using a Lyapunov function to lasso an out of control, metastasizing nightmare on the complex plane before it blows up too much kind of IS common sense...

Packet queue delays are one of my professional nemesis, but I miss some of the humor in your post from ignorance. A very vague association to negative feedback systems is all that comes up. 

 

In English please, if possible with words of no more than three syllables? 

 

Complex Analysis - cowboy joke

I think it is fair to say that they are integral to mathematics
