That would push it into territory where the grooves on the record are getting packed too closely together, reducing the sound quality.

  Interesting. What is the upper limit of side playtime on a vinyl LP?

    It's just a rule of thumb, but 20 minutes is generally considered a good target and 18 minutes is even more preferred. Pushing up to 21 or 22 is possible but does degrade the sound quality.
