What is even funnier is he thinks I'm twatts.
Sorry corkscrew but your 'buddy' is a clueless ass ...
Thanks Corkscrew! Drama is right. There is a way to teach, and there is a way to antagonize. And as a general rule of thumb, it is best to speak in private about certain matters if you want fast results, perhaps email. When posts are made on public boards, things turn personal and people say stoopid stuff, largely due to there being an audience. 90% of what I was writting was meant to be humorous, 10% was genuine confusion over some key taper issues. I admitt I had some misconceptions about the D-7, but this was largely in part due to my previous experience working with a taper who uses rca cable >D-7. Which is where I was coming from with my initial comments about there being audible differences in sources. Indeed, I have heard the "analog" difference of this method. I don't claim to be an expert in these sorts of things, I just like music. I like being involved in the taping and seeding of music, and I never intended to piss anyone off. Sometimes I do use sarcasm, and sometimes folks don't detect that online. I think Corkscrew would agree, I am not the type looking for a fight. As anyone can see, I have now learned the differences between "taper" and "patcher" as well as the information about bit perfect digital sources being identical. Thank you for that information, I will make a point to check on this board more often to keep myself up to date and as informed as I possibly can be. Hopefully the personal attacks can rest, maybe someday Mark and I will have a beer and a nug and laugh about all this misunderstanding (maybe not, I can live with either). If Mark learned anything from this, I hope it is that public message boards are not always the best medium for communicating with people. I am not a digital device, I am organic and I can make mistakes. Hopefully we can learn from our mistakes and move on. That's what I have done.

P.S.
On the issue of the CO2: My experiences with the CO2 have proven to be much more reliable since using my 9.6 Volt R/C car battery I modified to power it. I do remember having "artifacts" when I used the adapter that came with the unit. But since switching to battery I have not experienced any problems. Is it possible that the battery pack is the missing link, perhaps providing a more stable environment? Just a thought.
