Default 45 vs.33

Stewart's last post made me think (extraordinary as that sounds);
Does the fact that a Vinyl single spins quicker mean the sound is
more defined?


It could, if it wasn't for the small radius...

As you're covering more distance with the same amount
of information you can get better definition, i.e.. your higher
frequencies appear longer on the faster spinning record and are
therefore easier to pick up.


Does this make sense and is it true?


Yes and sorta.

In the day of... there were 12" stereo 45's for the audiophile market. They
suffered from a short playing time and of course all the slings and arrows
of being vinyl.
