There are places where you can get shielding for your sleeping area so that your body has an opportunity to heal properly during the sleep/healing cycle. An additional complication to the microwave field is our ingestion of nanoparticles of aluminum which makes our bodies highly conductive and more susceptible to damage when in those fields. Chelation therapy is a good way to clear the body of all those metals that, at the last time I looked, are not part of our minimum daily nutritional requirements.

The only way to control EM is to get rid of electricity. A car has EM, forget WiFi, BT, Microwave. Power lines at 110Kv/440Kv are equally dangerous. 110v/220v home power lines also emit radiation. Fluorescent lights emit radiation, as does CFL. Any copper conductor, even inside a dielectric/insulator will emit radiation. The modern lifestyle is full of EM. OCCD just adds to it. True, whenever you have a current flow, there is a corresponding magnetic field, hence, some sort of EM radiation. However, what we are talking about here is radiation in the microwave spectrum that is much more energetic than what we experience from even high voltage EM emissions. These microwave emissions have been shown to cause significant damage at the cellular level. Sadly, most, if not all, of the government agencies that are supposedly protecting us, are really only protecting the profits of the companies engaging in business in those particular areas, i.e. FCC/Telecom industry, FDA/Big Pharma, USDA/Big Agra, and so forth. My advice: disconnect from wireless/Bluetooth as much as you can.

For health reasons, we should be finding ways to reduce the amount of EM radiation we are exposed to instead of adding yet more to the already immense sea we are bathed in daily. I know that the FCC claims that Wi-Fi, cell phone transmissions and other forms of EM in the microwave spectrum are safe, but the threshold they are using is strictly for microwave heating and doesn't take into account cell damage from those high frequency waves. Personally, I will stick with wired technology for both my hi-fi and computer networking. At least I have some control over those aspects of the EM field in my home.

For the 4th of July:

@CT-Seven- I built my HTPC with this case:

This is a potential concern, not so much advertising but maybe something more sinister. I haven't seen this "phenomenon" on any other albums by this artist. I did notice that this album is a remix of an earlier release. Perhaps the "remixer" inserted something there?

The analysis was done on a lossless audio file that I didn't rip. I suppose it's possible that the origin rip was accomplished with a CRT (although how many people actually use CRTs on their computers nowadays?) in close proximity. Since I don't know the origin of this file, I will never know.

Just for kicks the other day, I was looking at the frequency spectrum of various tracks from some albums I have in the electronic genre. One particular album had a curious line at around 19.2 kHz in each and every track. Has anyone ever seen anything like that? Since that is way up in the audible spectrum (especially for us old guys), it struck me as somewhat odd. Any speculation as to why that is? Below is a screen shot of one track:

Here's an example: Wonderful voices singing great tunes on what should be a wonderful album -- if only the moron recording it hadn't applied so much compression that I can't stand to listen to it. I finally found a copy of this album, and I have to agree with you, it has so much potential but has been utterly destroyed by the engineer. Too bad.

Here's a short documentary on the current state of "music delivery".

So, what is your favorite method of storing and retrieving the audio information that is our passion? I have a certain fondness for vinyl (bumps/analog), since it is what I grew up with. However, I do find the care and feeding of vinyl to be a bit on the tedious side. CDs and such (holes/digital) do provide a particular ease in terms of storage/replay solutions, but some believe that the "richness" of vinyl is lacking to some degree in digitally stored audio. My preference is digital. My audio collection, for the most part, is stored digitally in a lossless audio format (no MP3 for me). This provides me the ability to easily catalog my music collection, create playlists for hours of listening without interruption, and store information about artist/album with each item in my collection. This also ensures that original source material can be stored and played without risk of damage. So, what is your favorite?
