Hi Lou,
As stated on my website (http://www.baileyzone.net/services.htm) I only
perform restoration processing on a copy of the 44.1 file. The original
transfers are left intact. Since I do transfers for institutions as well
as individuals, the original transfers are used for archival. The
process of creating two files simultaneously takes no extra time and
there is no extra cost involved.
Cheers!

On my website, I state that I digitize to 2 files simultaneously because I'm not a fan of sample rate conversion. Yes, I know that algorithms have improved over the years and those of you that maintain that you can't hear any difference will not change my opinion on this.
