22.05 KHz, a/k/a the Nyquist Frequency of the CD standard sampling rate, and the associated brick-wall filters.

cynan wrote:[So are you actually admitting that analog audio's days are numbered? That when higher sampling frequencies than 44.1 kHz become de facto, which you could argue is the direction things are heading (ie, 96 or 192 kHz - and even 384 kHz is beginning to crop up), then there will be no more (academic) argument for preferring analog over digital?

Needless to say, I've been shopping for a new setup, for over a year now. Every time I decide to pull the trigger, I remember I'm having a baby this winter and suddenly, spending a grand on speakers seems a lot less relevant. And trying to audition speakers is frustrating.

You guys have some really nice gear! It's nice to find out there are some people on this site who appreciate quality music reproduction.
