      Yeah, I'm glad he linked it at the end. The difference is huge. Though I miss the low grinding of 2.0 now that I'm hearing it again, 3.0 is muuuuch improved.

    • @thatguybrody4819
      @thatguybrody4819 Год назад +6

      there are things that 3.0 does better but man there are just some things from 2.0 that 3.0 just doesn't really seem to be able to replicate. like the subtle difference in the way the two different scanners sound and it really shows on some other songs. mr roboto is a prime example of this.

    • @rc-wingman5719
      @rc-wingman5719 8 лет назад +4

    • @Ampera_
      @Ampera_ 8 лет назад +16

      No, it would be like hooking up a CD player and playing full quality sound on it. Modems are machines that turn digital information to analog audio to be transmitted over POTS. It is technically possible to use a modem as an overly complicated MP3 player.
      This of course depends on the modem, and how easy it is to manipulate the audio coming out of the modem.
