   FWIW, hubby who can still hear earthquakes a few seconds before they   
   start and who used to hear REALLY high sounds, says the analog/digital   
   thing is pure bullshit.  I trust him. My ears have always been terrible,   
   and now they're a lot worse.   
      
   Who knew that a sudden feedback scream from your phone (no idea how that   
   happened) could take out the higher-frequency (such as it was) hearing   
   in that ear permanently?  Be warned.

   He did that with our old Pioneer turntable, as well as transferring our   
   4-track tape collection to MP3 (can't remember the name of the recorder,   
   but we still have it), including attaching official names through some   
   arcane method.
