Vinyl only has (at best) 70 - 78 dB of dynamic range, which equates to
12 - 13 bits resolution, and I am sure vinyl is bandwidth limited as
well (cuts off at 16kHz?).


**Nope. In fact, a good vinyl recording can go well past 50kHz. The
mighty Dynavector 10D-II can operate to 60kHz. The square wave
performance of this very fine cartridge is exemplary.


Just where are you going to get the source material to cut on this disk?
Or are you restricting it to direct cut?


**Direct cut, of course. Commercial LPs were all pretty much crap.


Name one single vinyl disc, direct cut or half-speed mastered, with
50kHz content. Once you've failed to do that, tell us how, even if it
had been true, this would have any relevance to music lovers. I've
only ever heard a couple of direct-cut discs that had even halfway
decent *music* on them.
