Re: Klaus, you are contradicting yourself! No, I don't.

The last technical vinyl related papar in JAES was published in 1986. Huge amounts of dark silence since then. And there are many issues that remain unsolved. Where are the guys capable to write the math which describes distortion generated by line-type styli?

Playing vinyl is a dynamic process, the only approach to describe vinyl playback is based on the Hertz equations, which are well suited for static conditions, but not for dynamic. Where's the guy competent and interested enough to develop these equations?

Critical/technical papers have been written, it's the authors of these papers I was thinking of when I said competent. However, these papers were written for experts, not the layman. So the layman doesn't know about slope overload, curvature overlad etc.

Vintage hifi: my turntable, cart and arm were designed in the early 80ies/late 70ies, is that vintage enough?

For electronic components and speakers I think that real progress has been made by the use of digital signal processing. My speakers use DSP extensively, my preamp uses DSP for all control functions. Before you say that digital is bad, remember that many records have been made using DSP only between mike and cutter head.
