**If you REALLY want to laugh, look at a 7kHz square wave from a CD
player (even 5kHz is barely passable from most CD players). A good
R-R or high end vinyl playback can do a MUCH better job.


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.


**You're kidding, right? LOL!


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.


**Of course.

I'm going with the CD, thank you.


**Me too. We're not discussing personal preference, noise levels, wear
levels or any other factor. We're discussing square wave performance.


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


**I will do so when I locate it. The photos are of a 10kHz waveform, but
you'll get the idea.
