I'd be interested in seeing some discussion of the adequacy of the 44.x kHz
sampling rate in current compact disk players. Is it high enough for all
audio purposes? Can someone familiar with the Nyquist frequency stuff give
some input? The standard argument against seems to be "well a 20 kHz sine
wave will only get sampled twice". Is this significant? Certainly the disks
I've heard sound pretty impressive.
