Vinyl as a medium has a higher potential limit for high frequency reproduction than CD because there's no built in brick wall frequency response limit for vinyl. Whatever frequencies are put on vinyl can be played back
|
If I recall, most commercially-available LPs don't get appreciably below 40Hz because of physical limitations of the medium. Of course, specially-pressed records could get better extension.

Thanks for the clarification, Mark, but what about wow and flutter & dynamic range?
|
LPs can't compete with CDs in those departments. Wow and flutter isn't even an issue with CDs.
As for dynamic range:

vinyl has; over 75 dB dynamic range possible.
|
Possible perhaps, but not common. Acording to information I saw published in Stereo Review back in the day, the S/N ratio of most commercially-sold records was less than what you would get with a Dolby B cassette (which is typically about 65dB).
