Other than you, who has made this claim? You’re suggesting that an LP can hold more data than a CD. That simply isn’t even remotely true.It’s the mechanical aspects of the LP’s capacity to hold transient phase coherence, timing coherence of the same, across the two channels.
Since this is deeply connected to how the ear works, it tends to be fundamentally important. To the ear. if you look at how the ear works, this little bit of a point becomes critical.
If one wants to equal the inter channel timing of transients and phase coherence that an LP is capable of, the minimum is an approximate 7 million sample per second rate, at about a minimum of 20 bits of depth and with absolutely zero jitter in dc to lightspeed bandwidth. This was known and spoken of in the early 90’s. Odd that it is somehow forgotten or not mentioned.
Look at the whole question and answer set. Math is nice and is a great descriptor of things, as a tool or what not. But it cannot do anything in being a tool unless the tool user is equipped with the correct questions and the math is shaped well enough to be useful in those calculations. In other words one has to have to have the right question in front of them. Most folks don’t. Thus the circular arguments.
eg, if one thinks that this spec is not important as it is swamped by noise, wow and flutter, etc, one might remind them that the world’s finest FFT and intelligent filtering system known, is built right into them. The human body creates an incredible amount of noise for the ear. The ear/brain system filters this out. So much so we are not consciously aware of this huge wobbly and insanely polluted noise floor inside our own hearing.
The ear as being dumb and the instrument and math smarter, more capable? It would be difficult to be more wrong, if one said or thought such a thing.
