RE: VHS for archiving records????

The difference is in the quality of the machine. I'm not talking here about some consumer SVHS deck and there were many made, but rather a very expensive pro machine used in, for example, TV stations around the country. Hi-Fi VHS or VHS+ does not use the same HD circuitry as SVHS with regard to FM recording quality, I'm told. There is no compromise in FM modulation with this level of pro machines, however clumsy the format may be to copy LPs.

As far as the lossless compression argument, I'm a babe in the woods and have bought nothing. Everybody seems to be at mixed odds about it, however I do appreciate your opinion on this topic. What sort of bit rate do you like to record WAV files in?
