But how many actual LP transfers have people done? I've digitised hundreds of LPs over the last 10 years or so, and my real-world practical experience has been that 16/44.1, performed with a modicum of care, is more than capable of capturing everything that comes off the LP. You might argue that my recording and/or playback setup is not good enough to detect the differences. I'd hazard a guess that the weakest link in the system is the Naim preamp I use as a phono preamp, but I'd also hazard a guess that it's rather better than the phono preamps being used by the majority of hobbyist LP digitisers.
