Frequency response limit vinyl.
This is not the case with vinyl.
That said the high frequency response accuracy of vinyl varies tremendously.
Apart from a few relatively minor refinements and the.
The recording tracking ability of vinyl is easily at least 50 khz depending upon the cartridge and stylus profile and perhaps as high as 100 khz.
The low frequency response of vinyl records is restricted by rumble noise described above as well as the physical and electrical characteristics of the entire pickup arm.
But we have the physical limit how deep the needle can cut and the the noise that is created when the styus scratches along the grooves of the record.
Vinyl is back no doubt about it.
The frequency response for a conventional lp player might be 20 hz 20 khz 3 db.
The lp from long playing or long play is an analog sound storage medium a phonograph record format characterized by a speed of 33 1 3 rpm a 12 or 10 inch 30 or 25 cm diameter and use of the microgroove groove specification introduced by columbia in 1948 it was soon adopted as a new standard by the entire record industry.
I stand by this.

You ask strange questions since vinyl as media is supposed to be as flat as digital media are supposed to be flat.
Also the vinyl cutting lathe used in vinyl mastering usually used a 50 khz 6 db octave lowpass filter to limit the cutter amplifier power at ultrasonic frequencies.
Unlike the audio cd vinyl records and cassettes do not require anti aliasing filters.
There is no hard limit upper frequency limit like that with vinyl in theory.
The vinyl cut can transport frequencys from 10 to 25000 hz.
Sales of vinyl records have been soaring although they still represent only a tiny fraction of the music industry s revenues.
