PBS's Wired Science "Analog vs. Digital".


The PBS science show "Wired Science" has a segment on "Analog vs. Digital; Which sounds better?" on this weeks episode (#106 I think).

I think the promo states it as - "Can analog sound as good as digital?".

Might be interesting.

Hey Tom,

It shows up on CET's schedule several times. Wed. at 8:00PM and Friday at 9:00PM. Also a bunch of odd times throughout the week.

This is the link to local listings and the title of the show is "Peak-Water Crisis in the Southwest". The Analog vs. Digital is a segment.

I'm curious about the perspective from outside these communities. It looks like it is a "live" recording done 2 ways, 1 on reel to reel, and 1 via AD / DA listened to by the artist to see if she can tell them apart. Could be an interesting conversation starter, or a non-starter,. Who knows?

Still planning on the listening to the Jansen's (spelling?) the upcoming weekend? If I get past the flu I would love to go. Won't commit 'till I'm sure that I am past it.

Fatparrot,

Yeh, that is next weeks segment. Is digital (or analog) worth the effects on the climate? Probably a toss up. Personally, I think it (global warming) is the methane.

Probably a so-what, but I thought some might be curious. I am.

Cheers,
Jim
