A little googling found this link: http://www.arboretum.com/support/manuals/manual_he/Files/hppc_digital_audio.html wherein it explains bit rates and sampling rates. It seems 16-bit is the accepted standard for audio. This explains the seeming lack of quality of my recent .WAV recordings. I chalked the problem up to old, deterioted vinyl.
