Re: [ARSCLIST] Is recording to Reel-to-reel still the preferred preservation method?
Upon the advice of a highly-regarded "golden ear." In his opinion, if the
very best A/D converters are used, 176.4kHz and 192kHz are audibly superior
to the lower sampling rates. I don't have access to a broad enough selection
of equipment to make my own judgements, so I rely on him.
He has had a chance to listen to nearly all of the high-end A/D converters,
and recommends the Pacific Microsonics box. This may not be available for my
project, so instead I've specified the new Weiss box.
Salutations, David L
