I agree with the quoted post and its implications for this thread's originator. Vinyl was not recorded with the specs that are sought, viz. 24/96. Although it was originally recorded to analog, and assuming pristine quality of the master tapes, you are still limited by the fact that the recording equipment at that time (eons ago in tech years) is nowhere near the specs being sought. 24/96 of vinyl without any additional editing or processing would only show up the imperfections of the source material. I assume the original poster is not intending to do any editing or processing. That being the case, not only would nothing be gained by 24/96, it might actually make the original sound worse. -- mortslim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mortslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11039 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43510 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
