Running for Dummest question EVER

Can a record be considered hi-def with such a limited freq response, high background noise and poor channel separation??? That's like saying black and white tv's are great because they do such a great job on grey-scale. IMO
Now if you're talking high quality (studio grade)analogue tape that's a different matter.

Pardon me,,,I should have added that doesn't mean that records can't sound fantastic,,

Butsy,your last post is your firesuit eh?LOL
Beheme,CAM is missing you,bro!

half speed mastered is what you are looking for. The vinyl is cut at half speed so the sound are more accurate. Good luck finding one however, I do not think they make them anymore.

tks, this is part of what I was looking for...would there be such thing as a more precise cutting tool or cutting process that capture more subtle freq or volume changes of the recording? same for the reading, I know there are laser LPs, is this waht they are trying to do?

Tks, send me an email to tell me who you are on CAM but no need to worry I am still there, just in a different suit!!!!
