I see absolutely no evidence whatsoever that refutes in any way what Dan
Lavry has stated as his facts.

As there´s absolutely nothing in that paper that isn´t based on a VERY
solid mathematical/physical ground I don´t expect to ever get any
rebuttal at all.

Except for those luddites who always claims subjective things as their
only means to claim the opposite.

John Watkinson:

About the sampling theory:

"Given that three researchers independently arrived at the same theory
and given the countless thousands of successful devices in countless
industries that have been made based on sampling theory, it is utterly
inconceivable that it is wrong."

"Interestingly it is only the audio industry in which the validity of
sampling theory is questioned"


So no doubt at all.....Dan Lavry is entirely correct in my experience.

And there should be absolutely no need to go higher than 96 kHz except
for those recording bats.
