Preemphasis/deemphasis curves (plural) that are 100% complimentary. An
analog noise reduction solution 80 or so years old, that works quite well.


But the curve changes the noise level, which can not be ignored in analog.
It changes the color overall.


This does not make sense to me at all. I listened to HD and it sucks.
The distortion is terrible. Sure the noise level is low compared to
analog so what when it sounds like crap most of the time.

"CD like" is a bull**** term with no meaning. They also like to throw
"digital quality" around. CT aac+ SBR sounds bad. It causes listener
fatigue.


The test is to have people who are not technical listen to a CD, HD and
analog FM with the same source. HD and CD are perceived as being the same,
while analog FM audio is not.


My eyes and ears are not technical. Low resolution or noise make
pictures or sound poor. The problem here is HD is distorted ALL THE TIME
where analog is noisy SOME OF THE TIME.

The argument that HD is better than analog is BS.
