Required Reading on DA

All:

I would suggest a quick read of the article below. It CLEARLY shows the effects, at AUDIO bandwidths, of capacitor DA on line level electronics. Perhaps we can actually learn something, rather than simply arguing.......

While I won't claim that the effect is the same for speaker cables, it does demonstrate what DA looks like, and the relationship between dielectric and error voltages. (See Fig. 7 in particular)

BTW, the article was first published in 1982, so it's hardly new. In EDN, no less....

(Egregious editorializing: IMO it also illustrates what a bozo Gene is, but hey, that's just my $0.02. If he is an EE as claimed, he has no excuse for not understanding this. Perhaps he chose not to understand? Noooo, say it isn't so!....)
