I assumed that...

...the comments were somewhat tongue-in-cheek.

Regarding the technical sufficiency of 24/44.1, hasn't the market already spoken on that one?

As I recall, the most recent Beatles vinyl rereleases were cut from 24/44.1 digital masters. As I recollect, the reviews tended to be quite critical of the sonics and most of the criticism tended to center on the 44.1 sample rate. IIRC, M. Fremer was ambivalent about them and A. Dudley pretty much declared them a fraud. Some around here claimed that the USB flash drive version sounded markedly better than the vinyl because it was done at 24/96. Turns out the flash drive was also 24/44.1. I hear rumors that the Beatles vinyl is going to be released again but this time from something higher rez than 24/44.1 Perception (or expectation) is everything.
