As you say, that depends on the application.

I'm into heavy experimental noise stuff where "noise" doesn't imply 
inaccuracy. That's why I'm using high grade analouge electronics.
My (our) approaches sometimes appear to be rather academic while I don't 
want to call it like this (it would be an offence to an real academic).
So I'm pondering if I could achieve the desired accuracy anyway or not 
and, most important, if we need that.

I think I just will have to find this out.

   Thanks, Michael.
