- LeoPanthera 3y agoThe dynamic range also reduces as you get closer to the center of the record because the linear tracking speed reduces. Some albums had to have their tracks rearranged so that the louder tracks weren't near the end.
- cesaref 3y agoWhatever you may think is wrong with vinyl, limited bandwidth isn't the problem - it's totally possible to get 50Khz onto a record, and there were even quadraphonic recordings made by modulating an extra two channels into these otherwise unused higher frequency ranges. Dynamic range may be what you mean? It's around 70-80db, which is good enough for most things, certainly when records are new and/or undamaged so surface noise is lower.
