The idea is to always record at for example 24/96/88.2 do all post processing you feel it need . And then downconvert with for example dBp to 16/44.1/48 If you wish , you should use something with a good samplerate converting algorithm and dither. Do not record directly at 16/44.1 and then post process The recording and processing at higher rates minimises all kinds of artifacts. Especially if some fillters is used for click and noise removal. I can imagine the warps and clics can have a lot of energy so headroom is needed when recording. Just like in a studio you work with higher rez recording and producing even if you only intend to produce a humble redbook cd :) Hmm that stereophile link was a good one never considered pickup resonances. Good luck with vinyl rips, there is a lot of stuff out of print , wish I did this before selling off my LP's :-/ -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
