surely you mean "a good analogue recording transcribed to vinyl"? I
mentioned before that I was under the impression that vinyl cutters
have trouble etching high frequencies onto the vinyl.

**Then you'd be wrong. There is no reason why *any* waveform cannot be

This depends very much at the level you attempt to record it at.

It is just a matter of how much trouble one is willing to go to. Don't
forget: A square wave, on a vinyl recording (physically) looks like a
triangle wave. BTW: I have a CBS test disk with square waves recorded
on it. They appear on a 'scope with far higher fidelity (provided I use
a high quality turntable) than any 16/44 digital system.

I'll bet much of that square wave consists of distortion added at playback.

Be interesting to see the actual cut on the record via a microscope.
