My understanding is that this particular
neve had serious problems (i believe
it was in the solo buss or something like that).
My friends, who are in the biz and shall remain
nameless, pd. all sorts of $$ for theirs .
They found a noise in the solo bus. They had many
hi end tecks try and repair it. But they all said
it was a faulty design. they stopped making the
console payments (for a couple years) and were
in court. In the end Neve took the console back
with no recourse. they said when they took the
board back to the warehouse they were to return it
to, there were others just like it that had been
returned also... Now, remember, this is all alleged
because there was a huge lawsuit involved. But
the V may not have been indicitive of the standard
Neve quality.

One more comment or your "why can't the sampling
rate be upped".
There are programs and converters out there that
have a 96k capability. But it still has to end up
at 44.1 for the industry standard, for cd.s and such.
The other thing is, and I realize that this is going
to piss of a whole bunch of the digitalheads that
have been posting on this, when you approach an
infinitely high sampling rate, you approach analogue.
Meaning, You will be recording all that noise that
is below the noise floor that 44.1k picks up. You
will also be spending as much on tape (theoretically)
as you would on analog), and, in essence, you will
be virtually analog.I have a friend who does 24tk.
analog mods., he says that with the amount of money
gone into digital, they easily could have far surpassed
the noise floor levels and still be on analog. But
they could see the whole digital revolution coming
and $$ is the bottom line for any corporation.
Sorry about all the senselessness.
