When you consider the compromise of the 45-45 stereo system, I mean the recorder has at best 0.5%IM distortion, playback well over 1% harmonic at the best physical point and frequency on the record itself, noise issues, and for vertical info the distortion increases with frequency and amplitude and full left or right info is most distortion and pure out of phase info from vertical movement is also most distorted, so you have to avoid these extremes, and that is just where the most distortion occurs, well.....
this has to imply that there are other factors going on that trick the ear into enjoying, in my case I feel the mid to lower upper high are just better sounding on vinyl than digital and the soundstage sounds more realistic, so the tricks are occurring there and are not just simple harmonic distortions. it is alluded to in various places what these are but if it were so easy we should have that "digital vinyl sound enhancement" software by now. Maybe its just not considered that important in the digital world. Don't get me wrong, I play mostly digital, but vinyl does have a sound that I enjoy when I want to go through all the , sorry, bother, of dinking around with the whole process. My wife actually plays her albums way more than I do, but she is just now learning how to text, but only because the grandson seems to only communicate that way.
