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,



Bull****.


It was ever your habit to ignore facts. The treble extension of vinyl
is entirely related to groove speed, which is a function of radius and
rotation speed. In fact, the outer grooves of a 33.3 LP have higher
groove speed than the outer grooves of a 7" 45, but a 12" 45 has the
capacity for a third of an octave higher treble. Of course, it's back
down below the outer grooves of a standard LP when it gets to the
inner grooves, but that's CAV discs for you!




The sad thing Pinky is that, coming from *anybody* else, the above might
have been interesting and worthy of debate. Coming from you, it just gets
stamped 'More Bull****' and tossed in the bin.....
