Title: Analog concepts in a Digital world
Product review: A quote regarding high end digital cables."I wish people would learn what "digital" means. In the old days when everything was analog, using a better wire to connect devices might indeed have some benefits. Even now, the connection between the receiver and the speakers is analog so using better wire can have some sonic effects.However, when the transmission is _digital_ (as in HDMI), all the receiving end needs to be able to do is to tell whether a bit is a 1 or a 0. It doesn't matter at _all_ whether the bit is 1% beyond the detection threshold or completely at the limit for the medium (i.e truly at zero volts or at 5.00 volts if that is the max allowed). If the detector sees a "1", it sees a "1". The "1" doesn't get any better or any cleaner because the analog voltage on the wire was closer to the "ideal" voltage for a "1"."
