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? 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, although not 'definition', just more extended treble, hence the
existence of 'audiophile' 12" 45s by RCA and others. OTOH, surface
noise is higher, so you pays your money and takes your choice.
