The microscopy of vinyl records

The microscopy of vinyl records

  • Introduction.
  • Microscopy: The appearance of the grooves.
  • Contaminations causing noise; old forms of stylus.
  • Record wear and the elliptical stylus.
  • Stylus tracking and test records.

This article is addressed to the people who are still in love with their vinyl collections. Long may they find replacement styli and belts for their turntables, for amongst the neglected discs from the early days of stereo recording now turning up in charity shops and car-boot sales are what many discriminating listeners believe to be the finest examples of recorded sound in the entire history of the medium

Wow, I just found out that this is really a hype. I would like to see the appearance of grooves of the microscope.
