But it isn't necessarily at the molecular level. I'm thinking would be some function of stylus contact area and the number of discrete "samples" that can be encoded in the vinyl within a certain distance.The other aspect of this that I'm thinking about is that, as an analog medium, the size (time window) of these discrete steps would not be a constant. It would be somewhat of a randomized sample rate.
My theory is that randomized distortions are less irritating than organized distortions. Kind of like the screendoor/stairstepping of a digital picture looking less "natural" than a picture taken on film with equivalent "resolution", but using random-sized dots.
