Hi,
I am listening to a fascinating interview on the new Home Theater Geeks Podcast (#9) - see twit.tv for downloading.
It's an interview with AIX Records founder Mark Waldrep and it is very enlightening. I recommend a listen.
He states that Vinyl and analog tape has a dynamic range of 12 bits or less. I find this interesting because I have spent a lot of time honing my digital capture of vinyl technology. I have settled upon a data rate of 48khz and a resolution of 16 bits. I believe I am achieving terrific results even though it took me several years to get to this point. I feel the 48k/16b standard provided enough bandwidth to capture the full fidelity while keeping file size reasonable. I have thousands of CDs and LPs and "Live" recordings. I currently run about 2.5 terrabytes of server storage for my entire collection which is duplicated in total for disaster recovery.
In the light of Mark Waldrep's comments, I would be interested why others feel the need to digitally capture their vinyl at higher bit rates such as 96k/24b, etc? The file size alone becomes gigantic and it just doesn't seem warranted?
No need for flaming just interested in a rational discussion.
