The vinyl word…

-

I am writing in response to Russell Deeks’ point that a CD’s 24-bit/96kHz sampling rate

enables more frequencie­s to be heard. Large scale double-blind tests show that people cannot tell the difference when higher frequencie­s than CD can carry are omitted, and the assertion that “what any of us can and can’t hear is entirely subjective” is not true.

Keep up the good work, and a Merry Christmas to all at BBC
