With all this talk about CD and the like, how come nobody has started
either praising or flaming PCM???
 
Well?  How 'bout it?  
What are its problems?  What about the sample rate?
What are its joys?  (besides quiet background)
 
now, back to my favorite passtime of flaming CD's....
 
If they are sooooo good, them how come they naver can produce a 
square square wave?
All of you out there who insist on seeing measurements and alike
before evaluating something never seem to notice that a CD has
never produced a (nearly) square wave.  Either they cannot produce one
or the test disk was not properly written (and nobody is even trying
to make a proper one)[test disk that is].
Whay you all seem to miss is that the CD square wave has a decaying 
sine wave across the top and bottom of the square where it is supposed
to be flat.
Even the SHURE V15 type II can produce a more square wave.
