Nothing wrong with 24/48

24 bits and 48KHz is plenty good enough for the archiving of vinyl. And the file sizes it produces are much smaller than using 96KHz or 192KHz.

As Tony said in one of his posts, vinyl is a good storage medium and should be able to last a century or more. Then, for distribution, you can make a "needle drop" recording using 24 bits and 48/96/192 KHz. Providing the turntable and cartridge are of sufficient quality, the digital copies should sound very, very good indeed.

I made just such recordings about 10 years ago using a buddy's MoFi Beatles Box Set vinyl and the resulting digital files were indistinguishable (to my and his ears) from the original vinyl. This allows one to thoroughly enjoy that vinyl magic as many times as one likes without introducing additional wear and tear on the records themselves...
