Well, I only listen to white noise that fills buffers that are allocated using new and lovingly filled with an artisanal memcpy.

I hope you zero the memory first! Otherwise you can hear the ghosting on good headphones.

Ghosting problems are why I refuse to listen to anything on machines with RAM older than DDR4.

Surely you mean newer? The quantum tunneling artifacts on modern dense memory are simply ghastly, which why I stick to hand-wound magnetic core memory.

Only way to go is w/ either magnetic core memory or isolinear chips.

I guess that comes at the significant penalty of lower bit rate. Still, it does sound warmer.

(Seriously, I wonder what the rate would be?)

WTF? Doesn't anyone just reverse bias a transistor anymore? Who needs memory?
