What combination of cartridge/tonearm/turntable does Stefan Lindstrom use
for his transfers?

Perhaps the higher frequency information is not used nor is beneficial
for Sonic Solutions NoNoise and Algorithmix.  But that doesn't mean
that this is true for all denoising algorithms and all process chains,
now or in the future.  The implication seems to be that because
Agorithmix and NoNoise do not benefit from frequencies greater than
20 kHz, there is no point in working at higher sample rates.

I have tests that show that the higher frequency information and the
properties of an MC do make a difference to noise detection/removal
in my system, and am offering to share my tests with anyone interested
and who can accept a 2MB email attachment.  I can't think of a more
productive means of having this discussion than to share A-B tests
and discuss those.
