I don't know what's happened to Disney+ either, but I got an e-mail
from Sky this morning informing me that Disney+ and HBO Max are now
included free with my Sky subscription... so Disney+ (advert supported

Sky TV here in New Zealand dropped their normal Disney
channels back in 2019 when Disney+ launched here, but Sky TV
does still have HBO.

Almost all of it is probably produced using digital equipment these
days in teh recording studios, but the final vinyl record itself is
played on analogue equipment by the purchasers, which to some people
sounds better.
For many people, having physical objects linging the shelves is also
much more satisfying than a computer drive filled with digital files
or, in the case of streaming services, having nothing except an
on-screen list stored somewhere in the "cloud". Not to mention
streaming services simply dropping content whenever they feel like

I wonder how it can manage that, given it came from digital sources ...
I mean, you?re not trying to say that the digital sources were
capturing ?the actual sound produced by the Voices/Instruments?, are

I suppose another possibility is that the real world sounds inherently scratchy and dusty, which somehow gets removed during digital sampling.
So the vinyl format is putting back that original real-world
authenticity.
Could that be it?

Vinyl remains stuck in the 1970s, but the humble cassette tape

Speaking of noise reduction, remember that vinyl has this convoluted
thing called the ?RIAA equalization curve?. Back in the day, you had
ceramic versus magnetic pickups, and one of them had to compensate for
the curve, but the other did not (I forget which was which). How could
you be sure either way that you were compensating for the curve
exactly? You didn?t.
The recording studios also use a much better digital equipment than
home music players or what is released on the CD or online /

But the on and off bits of digital audio and video can never match

I didn't say whether it was "good enough" or not, simply what
happens.
For a CD, the sounds are downsampled to CD-quality from teh higher
quality studio digital recordings. Similarly with various streaming qualities.
For vinyl, it will depend on how exactly the vinyl master is made,
but it still won't be a purely digital recording, even though the
studio source was. There will be minute changes and differences.
Together, that *could* mean some people hear (or more precisely
*feel*) a difference in quality.

Yes and no (and depends on who you ask). The human systems, including

You used the term ?downsampled? to refer to consumer delivery formats
like vinyl.
For a CD, the sounds are downsampled to CD-quality from the higher
quality studio digital recordings. Similarly with various streaming
qualities.
Streaming and file formats can be in any sample rate and depth desired.
No need for any ?downsampling? at all.

it still won't be a purely digital recording, even though the studio

So analog losses actually *improve* the perception in quality?

Nevertheless, it is a fact that nerve impulses either fire or don?t

ask any expert.

That's a presumptuous assumption. For some of us we simply never left
the format. I'm still using audio equipment purchased 50-60 years ago
and have a large collection of 78s, 45s, and LPs as well as cassettes, 8-tracks, and CDs. (For video while I have a media server I also have
Beta, VHS, Laser Disc, and CED disk.)
There is a lot to be said for having physical media rather than
depending on streaming services where you really have no control and
your favorites may disappear at any time.

"a KiT version"?? Is that something that the Knight Industries 2000 Car >>> can play?? ;-P
KITT = Knight Industries Two Thousand.? :-)
Well, I was close!

Rodger on that. I have been a big fan of the show from the first day I
saw it.
Noted the wrong date format of MM/DD/YYYY . The real format
is DD/MM/YYYY .

The Doctor, I agree with you. I don't understand why here in the U.S.
they do the date ass-backwards. When I was in the Army the date was Day/Month/Year. To me it made logical sense.
On the DVD box the date was listed Month/Day/Year, instead of Day/Month/Year. Oh well, I could never understand why the date is done
that way.
You must be from the USA.

"Diff'rent Strokes" .... That was the name I couldn't think of ....
cause I kept thinking of "The Bill Crosby Show" .... who's name I
couldn't think of, either, at that time!!
