Ok, I'll bite. Here's a 7kHz square wave as produced by a CD.

I'm not laughing - I call that a pretty damn perfect piece of audio.

Meanwhile, the nearest I could find for a cartridge was this at 1kHz -
an immensely easier job, and yet still barely handled by a V15.

I'm going with the CD, thank you.

Meantime, will you please post your 7kHz vinyl waveform? I need to
make a true comparison.
