I've seen the graphs that support this claim, and on the face of it they make a valid point. But in practice, in over a decade of digitising LPs I've never felt the need to worry about it. I record LPs at 16 bit, 44.1khz, using an M-Audio AP2496, and the recordings sound exactly the same as the original LP.

Anyone who claims "infinite" anything is deluding themselves. Infinity is an abstract concept which does not exist in the real world. -- cliveb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21836 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
