[QUOTE="Shonver, post: 69016, member: 34"] Gert has already covered this, but I started typing a response early this morning already, so here goes: A digital or analogue system does not understand "harmonics" (although it might generate its own through distortion mechanisms). Whatever the bandwidth covered by the signals, the Nyquist criterion dictates that the sampling frequency must be at least twice as high as the highest signal, inorder to be able to reproduce it. That highest frequency signal includes harmonics. Actually, you can't really talk of harmonics on its own, as a musical note is typically a complex waveform that can be expressed as a "fundamental plus harmonics". [/QUOTE]
