44.4kHz was a compromise between quality and play time. It was a very
good compromise, but we might as well go a little better now there's
no reason not to.
I think that 44.1 was chosen to be sufficiently good that only dogs and
bats would notice the limitations.
It is generally accepted that human hearing is 20-20,000 Hz
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_range and many other sources) and
diminishes with age.
For those who go on about how good FM radio is they should note it doesn't
go anywhere near 20 kHz. ;-)
Yebut Dave, we can't hear 20kHz
I doubt my Garrard 86sb ever produced 20kHz.
