Recent fun has been resurrecting my turntable (TD125/SME3009) and having
great fun playing LPs that I have not duplicated on CD, and have not
heard for too many years. However, were I to play the same album on
vinyl and CD, I doubt I could tell the difference.

It's usually easiest towards the end of an LP where the lower velocity
between disc and stylus shows up the inherent problems rather more.


Don't follow that - I'd have thought the distance travelled would be
less, but the disc speed the same? Actually, having written that I start
to get it (disc/stylus-time/distance), but I thought the inner groove
thing was related to tracking anomalies caused by the geometry of the
various bits.

Anyhoo, and FWIW, I've found that 'inner groove' poor quality sound
could be all but solved by certain types of cartridge. Not sure why/how,
but in my case an AT 440, and AT OC5
