My old scanner only manages 1200dpi, so it is nothing like as good as
my picture.

Couldn't open your link without registering, BTW, and I don't do that.


Here's one you don't need to sign in to see:

If you want to see some really gnarly grooves, go find a copy of
Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture on Telarc. One of the cannon blasts looks nearly
at right angles to the direction of travel. I have to increase my tracking
force to two grams to play it without skipping. The sound is spectacular,
though.

Oh, and they leave plenty of space between *those* grooves, I must say...
