It's a function of the mic pre/A-to-D rather than the PDAudio-CF card.

We'll consider it for future versions of our Mic2496 and other products.

perhaps use real-time lossless encoding (shorten / FLAC / etc) to reduce
the storage requirements?

At the moment, it probably takes more processing horsepower than can
be packaged in a portable unit, but those things get smaller, cheaper,
and get lower power requirements as time goes on, so it may be a
viable approach.

One problem with a system like this is that we tend not to trust it,
regardles of documented test results (usually) conducted by someone
who wants to sell us the gear or the process or posted on a web page
somewhere based on who knows what measurements. The less you do to an
audio file in order to store and retrieve it, the better. (one more
argument for analog tape)

My apologies: the Hitachi drive I referred to is actually an older
external 2.5" hard drive with a PCMCIA (PC Card) interface. IBM used to
sell it as the TravelStar 10E. It is not an internally mounted (slot
mounted) PCMCIA hard drive.

By the way, 4 GB Compact Flash memory cards are about to break the $500
price point. You can buy a SanDisk 4 GB CF card on eBay right now for
$519. 2 GB CF cards are available for under $200.

Mike just ignores all the processing needed to convert analog signals to
magnetic domains and back again. Not to mention superimposing on HF, playing
with frequency response, etc etc etc.

A coil of wire? Isn't this still in the Boy Scout Handbook? Or do
Boy Scouts start with a computer nowadays?

Sorry, I made the mistake of assuming you were after HiFi. Which is pretty
crazy I guess for someone who thinks his tape recorder is better than his
Lynx.

For playing tapes, yes.

Are you SURE you're not Phil Allison?

Do you admit that your original statement that analog tape is "objectively
better" than digital, is bogus then?
(Other than for playing old tapes)

> Are you SURE you're not Phil Allison?

Lets see,
You're making the stupid statements.
You throw in red herrings.
You introduce straw man arguments.
You never admit you're wrong.
You abuse people who disagree with you.

Are you sure *YOU'RE* not Phil Allison?
