Why 96/16 rather than 44k1/24 ? I don't follow that logic.

Because the treble sounds cleaner with better inter-transient silence, and
that really matters with decayed audio, it gets less splatty.

One more reason for this practice was that the cpu load on the Celeron was
20 to 25 percent when recording at 96-16 with CE2k, I didn't want to push
the issue, life is too short for worrying about clicks. That machine is now
en route to become volkswagens and mobile phones, the only thing that was
broken was the CPU fan .... really really bad noise occasionally, but it had
a 12 year active life.

The
highest freq recorded on most LPs was around 15KHz, apart from clicks
of course...

Exactly. It is only an asumption - ie. I haven't asked on the adobe forums -
but said asumption is that the better the clicks are recorded the easier
they are to identify correctly. I don't care much about this, simply because
I don't see much relevance of doing anything but fix single click's on most
vinyl. I have however encountered one disk that was so decayed that it
needed treatment as if 78 rpm ... ie. center channel extract with suitably
modified settings. It was a mono record and the result was amazingly fine.
