Actually 16/44 isn't the target anymore most of my sales are 24/96 downloads or 24/96 DVD's

Very good news! I with everyone adopt his rule. Still I feel that the move to 48X was absolutely not necessary – just created confusion and complexity of conversion.

I'm with you with LP's but have found more success with cleaner transfers with reels and my customers also don't have the tolerance for lps noise, diversification can be a good thing but don't sell and harder too find good material to work with

Bob, if your customers have no tolerance for LPs noise or no tolerance to tape hiss then your customs are idiots who need to review what they are looking for in audio. If the objectives are interesting performances then there was much more interesting recordings released in mechanical media then in magnetic media. Not to mention that whatever was released in tape (commercially) is more or less known. Anyhow, I do feel that it would be fine if you take on some selected LPs. If you insist to have “premium hi-fi sound” then there was made a lot of very high quality recordings on LP. At the same time there are many-many very interesting performances that were never properly transferred to digital, even from their mater tapes…

Well, I do not try to convince you in anything, I just know that if I was in the business of releasing my transfers then I would go for more interesting material.
