When was that, I didn't know that there was ever a time that raw PCM was
considered secure?


1970. It was a simpler, but no less mean, time. Sadly.

I would think it would be child's play to make sense of FDM telephone
signals, why would a captured American receiver be needed?


1970. We were fighting starving peasants, which helped.

Thanks, as always,

"I would much rather be able to say it sounds like such and such, but
when it's not obvious distortion and/or noise, when the specs are really
good for those factors and IM and slew rate and a host of other stuff I
probably can't bring to consciousness right now, yet one preamp lets me
hear as if the source is alive and right there, and the next one makes
me feel as if I'm listening to the equivalent of a very detailed
cardboard Elvis, I don't know what words to offer that might help. But
hell, I'm willing to try. Everything we might like to know isn't known
yet, and through history people have come up with ways to measure stuff
that previously went unmeasured." - Hank Alrich 07 May 2005
