There are microphones that extend higher in frequency 20kHz. I have a pair
of Earthworks omnis, for example, that have a flat response up to 40kHz.

Even mics that roll off below 20kHz have output above 20kHz it's just down in amplitude.
I found other gems (again, sarcasm) like that in the Digital Recording White Paper.
"By comparison, analog recordings were limited to 15 KHz."
I guess I must have been wasting my time setting the 20kHz tones using a MRL Calibration tape while aligning the ATR 102 in the studio all those years?
Don't get me wrong, I have some great sounding Red Book CDs.
I just don't like it when people spread false information.

Indeed. It's just that sarcasm doesn't do well in forum postings!

With all our communication going to written words.. English mavens should create a punctuation mark to indicate the sentence is humor/ irony/ sarcasm.
This would save billions of lines of rebuttal, complaints and misunderstandings from being written!!!
