The biggest relevation for me about vinyl was when I realized that it's CAV (constant angular velocity) and not CLV (constant linear velocity). It means that audio quality gets progressively worse as you move from outer tracks to inner tracks!
- quickthrower2 7y agoIs that surprising? It would be a lot cheaper to make CAV players that CLV.
- Koshkin 7y agoNot necessarily worse, though. There could be undesirable mechanical side-effects from the track moving too fast against the needle as well. (I am sure there is a huge body of engineering science about this.)

- taylodl 7y agoThen you realize Led Zeppelin thought Stairway to Heaven was a throwaway song - they laid it down on an inside track. It’s popularity caught them by surprise.
