Thanks Nige, yeah I am well aware of the 'Not possible, not invented here, that's obvious' syndrome and the associated opposition which turns to claim.
What I am talking about is entirely obvious from the correct vantage point, however most are incapable of finding that vantage point until being shown, and this is mostly due to indoctrination and consequent closure of minds and unawareness of extra senses.
Yup, lack of resolution equals errors equals noise, the nature of noise in audio is mission critical.
Interesting reading, read Part 1 first - Nutrition and Disease – Interview with Professor Don Huber – Part 2
Dan.
It's not obvious to me as well as Jan, so yes please, some numbers. Having read Scott's LA article it seems to be very easy these days.
Everything is obvious in hindsight.
BTW Am a bit jittery right now - just passed the 1000VRMS mark from my electrostatic direct-drive prototype. Sweating hands and such
Anyway. Just saw this and wondered. Although, such a response - 'It should be obvious' - in general means the poster has no clue. But maybe/hopefully I am wrong.

No it's not. BTW where on earth does a 20db safety margin come from? I would venture to bet there is not a single LP in existence with a 20dB crest factor.

How many pinguïns do you want to throw off the roof in order to prove that members of that species cannot fly?
From my perspective, some basic aerodynamic calculations are enough to convince me that the critters will never be able to take to the skies.
Jan, the risk of detonation seem to be increasing by the day. Stay safe!
And not to forget
11-12 bits is already ambient noise picked from the microphones , even after digital heavy high passing. See attachment. This is from the HD recording silent section.

Right, I was giving the best possible case of shorted input residual surface noise.
A pre-echo, is an electronic or digital fault. Its like the encoding codec wasn't suited to the decoding codec. There will be just a slight inconvenience to remove that mismatch problem. I'm just saying that it does exist.
Vinyl 'print through' does indeed happen but mainly at low frequencies where the excursions are large, when the mastering engineer didn't pay attention
Tape print-trough is very common and can almost always be heard on (master) tapes just before and after a track.
I find it hilarious that all kinds of non-existing digital effects are dreamed up to blame digital for a purely, well-known, analog, phenomenon.
And so it goes...

Especially since the delay is one rotation of your mechanical medium. IMHO the sinc "pre-ringing" is a non-problem, virtually non-existent on real waveforms.

As I mentioned before getting a signal into a system that would cause the pre-ringing is very difficult if possible. More interesting would be how that pre-ringing would evidence itself in a tweeters acoustic output. Would it be audible as some other effect given the nonlinearities and delays in the physical transducer?
One could try recording "jangling keys" or cymbals at 192k and brick wall the recording at 22.05k and maybe see any effects possibly energy/time waterfall plots at high frequency resolution?
No, vinyl "print thru" is a pressing problem, not a mastering problem. There is no vinyl involved in cutting a disc. Blank master disk are nitrocellulose lacquer.
this one is not bad for explanations, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetate_disc
I think he was talking about he could now hear the cheesy echo applied to the recording in the studio. A very real experience when you start making the chain of playback better.
I can see clearly now........ and it ain't pretty!
Cheers
