Why the very strange sample rate?

Encoding: 16 Bit linear

More importantly, how many bits were used during digital domain
processing?

Frequency Response: +0, -0.5dB; 4 Hz to 20 Hz
Microphones (2) B & K 4133/2619, Levinson ML-8 Pre-amps
All distortions less than .05%

Including the microphones?

Mixing Electronics: Levinson LNP-2
Monitor System: Levinson HQD

Production Advisor: George H de Mendelssohn-Bartholdy

Any relation to the composer of the well known violin concerto in E
minor?

Digital Recording: Digital Recording Systems Co., Inc.
Digital Editing: Sony DEC-1000 (prototype)


BTW: I recently obtained a DVD-Audio player. My one DVD-Audio disc
sounds very nice, but no better than a good CD. (It's the Bach St.
Matthew Passion conducted by Harnoncourt and was recorded specifically
for DVD-Audio rather than being a remix of a 70s pop record.)

As an experiment I tried adding two rear speakers but found that this
made only a marginal difference for classical music.
