You are suggesting that I don't have the "faintest idea". That's fairly patronising and condescending. Pity about that. As you know, at a sample rate of 44,1 kHz, the highest frequency possible would be half of that (ie. 22 kHz) to avoid aliasing. Thus - there go your high harmonics. The fact is George Massenberg - designer of the parametric equalizer, and he has Goldern Ears :-) states that his *minimum* set up for digital sampling to give the same kind of quality as the best analogue systems available would be a sampling rate of 96 kHz and 24-bits. And he is not alone. And now, gloves on for a debate of valves vs. transistors..... Guess which camp I'm in :-) And I don't care whether you disagree or flame away, because as always, this is ** my personal opinion **. I *
