First, you don't have your facts right.  I'll let BJ address that.
Second, why are you making this a personal attack?  Nobody attacked you. A friendly "ping pong" game is fine.
Sorry, but you also don't understand physics as demonstrated by you claiming anti skating affects the centrifugal force of a spinning record.  This is just not true.  I'm not really in the mood to write a dissertation on the subject right now.  I'm going to watch hockey and listen to music.

I wasn't looking for "bones", I was being friendly. If I needed "bones" so badly, I'd be working right now and not having this petty discussion. I have no interest in any components right now, and I don't think we really have the same taste in music. My money is just as green as yours though. And I haven't even dropped any names yet :D

It was friendly smack talk.   WTF ever happened to the board where we all tell each other "glub, glub"?   Forget I ever said anything if that makes you happy.

Didn't you guys ever see an Ali/Frazier fight?   Or more importantly, the pre-fight banter?

Okay, this is no fun anymore.

Screw smack talk, let tom pick a record and a judge or 2, and we'll see what's what. I hope you know about spectral analysis and cleaning, logarithmic equalization, and noise filtration. And Ps, 96k isn't as impressive as 192 by a long shot.

Have you ummmm heard the CDs I made from my LPs ?
You have to have a good source first.
Helps if you have a great moving coil phono cartridge in a good sounding modded out turntable.

Ask Tom about them.

Your sig says "Presonus FP10".   I didn't think they did 192.

I have since upgraded a few things, but I haven't redone my signature in a while. I'll get there eventually. My signature is like an Asian hooker, sometimes I think about it, but I don't really care about it :p

Well then, 192 is fine.   Or we could just produce Redbook so that dithering, SBEs. etc also get to enter the equation.

I'm working on some Digital to Wax Cylinders and trying to decide if I should start with 192k or 96k 8 bit.  >:D

When is this happening?  Will there be pizza, beer and cheerleaders for each side? 

PS:  a properly recorded cassette tape w Dolby C on will kick the butt of a typical mp3 file at 128 kbps.
