1. On the VHS SP vs EP discussion: EP *always* results in inferior quality
compared to SP because the helical tracks *overlap* in EP mode (they do not
in SP), causing a reduced S/N ratio.
2. On the cellular discussion: Although normal cellular uses analog FM
audio transmission (non-compressed), the carrier almost always converts it
to digital and use heavy compression between the tower site and the switch.
I think that a formal compression system implies the capability of
expansion. Sampling at a lower rate throws away information with no hope of
recovery...
