Does it take more electricity to record at higher sample rates? Is there room in the market for a lower sample rate, "green" studio?

If you're sampling at twice the rate you're clearly using twice the electricity, but the results are only 20 - 40% better...

That's what my experience with 60hz vs 400hz power supplies tells me.

You're delusional! EVERYONE knows that 400Hz is 6.666666666666666666666666666666.7 times better than 60Hz!

why ELSE would they put it on airplanes????

Because that's a harmonic of the resonant frequency of the wings, which makes them easier to flap and thus save energy...

Do you know nothing?

yes, but if you flap them at 192kHz you get even more efficiency, so why stop at 400?

You want to risk burning out the dilithium crystals?

Of course knot! I protect them with my Sound Blaster!!!

400Hz is used for high precision AC gear (SONAR suites in submarines run on them as well). Sorta sucks about the DC aspect of computers (but for the sake of the "3 millionth post" this is definitely debatable!)

Submarines ... that's where my experience with 400hz was. Also Beryllium and "mass unbalance modulation", IIRC.

Improperly aligned 400hz synchros were sure whiney
