44.1KHtz at 16 bits it is - there is no 'closest'.

Some machines have a 48K setting; this is for 'professional' DATs and
things that need to sync to SMPTE/Video/etc without all the gearbox
whickey - as I'm sure you're (painfully...?) aware of. ;}

  Ghod knows I've got enough of them bites on *my* ass ...

  And I also offered to master the tapes - I do a large amount of audio
restoration (Edison cylinders on up), so it looks like the Symposium tapes
will certainly be re-incarnated quite soon. Thanks John!



  Cheers
