You can induce any wave-form if you sample at 3 times the greatest harmonic. This is on the average 1.5 times as fast as your equipment will maintain at normal voltages. This is why Rock and roll only sounds good if it played really loud. It is also why of you play Black Sabbath backwards it sounds like a lullabye instead of the torment of the damned. The person who formed this theory was named Nykwist. He was seeking a way to avoid scratches, pops and clicks in records, and knowing that they were very high frequency, he simply attenuated the sampling rate until they and those irritating sopranos disappeared altogether.

Hiss was a problem on earlier recordings until he was found guilty of espionage and deported.

Nykwistian reduction has the side effect however of causing people in the audience to cough whenever the pianissimo exceeds the allegro. A solution for this, as well as the well known induction effect on the ringing device of cellular telephones has been found, but it is difficult at present to squelch the noise of firearms unless they are kept on a separate track altogether.

What Nykwsitian sampling does not do though is allow the ultra low freqencies to get enough spatial filtering to enrichen the response of the broad band fidelity groups. Ultra spiked harmonics which float through all horn solos are also retained in absentia principally. What the agency of reproduction does is to separate the roll-offs and add low and high level harmonics to the illusion of the sonic envelope diacritically. Sound is a subjective in final analysis, though it may be in many places at the same time.
