You are suggesting that I don't have the "faintest idea". That's
fairly patronising and condescending. Pity about that.
As you know, at a sample rate of 44,1 kHz, the highest frequency
possible would be half of that (ie. 22 kHz) to avoid aliasing. Thus
- there go your high harmonics.
The fact is George Massenberg - designer of the parametric
equalizer, and he has Goldern Ears :-) states that his *minimum* set
up for digital sampling to give the same kind of quality as the best
analogue systems available would be a sampling rate of 96 kHz and
24-bits. And he is not alone.
And now, gloves on for a debate of valves vs. transistors..... Guess
which camp I'm in :-) And I don't care whether you disagree or
flame away, because as always, this is ** my personal opinion **.
