The CD you make at home should sound exactly like the LP since it's been
made using the same turntable, etc.


It will be close but if you want real transapency move up to 24/96 or
higher.

That depends on what you will be doing with the recording:- If just
copying off vinyl and burning a CD, as the CD is 16/44.1, there's no
point recording it at any higher resolution just to come down again
immediately. If however you will be applying de-clicking, de-crackle and
noise reduction (preferably in that order), then there is some reason to
record at a higher resolution, process, then dither down to 16 bit and
SRC to 44.1 later.

I have deliberately avoided the argument as to whether even 16bit is
excessive for vinyl.........

If it doesn't, you're doing something
wrong.

Or not.


Of course many long since disposed of their turntable etc but not
LP collection then decide to digitise some of it using something bought
off ebay and wonder why it doesn't seem to sound quite as good as they
fondly remember..

The better the playback equipment the better the digital copy. No doubt
about that.
