RE: 24/96

If you look at the signal to noise ratio dynamic range of an LP it is around 80dB or so, maybe 90dB on a good day under ideal conditions.

24/96 offers a practical dynamic range of about 120dB - 130dB which is more than sufficient with plenty of headroom for digitizing vinyl. Trying to digitize vinyl at higher resolutions is a waste IMHO because the additional resolution has nothing more to capture off the record except for perhaps more noise.... and the file sizes become unnecessarily huge.

Yes, disk space is cheap. If you can personally hear an improvement in digitizing vinyl at higher than 24/96 resolution, go for it. I can't hear any benefit between 24/96 and 24/192 on the records that I have digitized.
