A little googling found this link:
http://www.arboretum.com/support/manuals/manual_he/Files/hppc_digital_audio.html
wherein it explains bit rates and sampling rates. It seems 16-bit is the 
accepted standard for audio. This explains the seeming lack of quality of my 
recent .WAV recordings. I chalked the problem up to old, deterioted vinyl.
Thanks, 
Tim
