I have found it most useful to sample them at 96 kHz 16 bit so as to
save disks space, I don't see any logical reason in wasting it for
writting 16 binary ones for each sample, but I want a good sharp and
undistorted clicks in case automated click removal is relevant.
Mostly I just take the big ones out with fix single click
functionality,

Does anyone remember the Garrad "Music Recovery Module"? It was
designed to remove the big clicks in real time by briefly shunting
the audio with a light-dependent resistor when a click was detected.
Click detection was based on the idea that clicks were of large
amplitude, had a fast rise-time and had a significant out-of-phase
component. It actually worked quite well, but no match for a software
solution.

That would freak out on modern hip-hop stuff that has surface noise/clicks
as part of the 'music' !

FWIW I'm looking at my old 301/SME/SME spinning away, right now .

It could be switched to "bypass", in which case it became merely a
high-quality RIAA pre-amp.
