  1. What a bunch of pseudo-scientific nonsense. First of all the sampling rate is not the only limitation of digital, there is also bit depth and while the CD is 16-bit, all studios has long switched to 24 bit for higher resolution. And of course vinyls sound better than CD unless of course you spend thousands of dollar on expensive D/A converters the likes of Wadia and of course digital nowadays is 24 bit 96 or 192kHz sampling and not the old 16 bit 44.1kHz. The second I love the sound of vinyl and these moments when you listen to the record you know very well from CD and yet the higher resolution of vinyl reveals something that you never heard before. Then again you can only hear these nuances on a decent equipment and there are these who are fine with 128 mp3 and can't ever hear artifacts and pre-echo.

  2. Tape? What recording studios still use tape of any kind?

  3.  @NeolithGrey  Most of audio collection is in 24/96 both as vinyl transfers and so called high-rez releases. IMHO is not the sampling rate than maks the audible difference but the bit rate i.e. 16 vs. 24 bit. There is alos an issue of pre-9echo on CD.
