There are countless LP's, for example the Oscar Peterson trio recording
I am listening to at the moment, with piano across the centre, bass on
one side and drums on the other.

** A fool argues using irrelevant examples.


I have just taken a look at this track on a spectral analyser, and with
the
exception of a small amount of studio leakage, there is no string bass on
the opposite track.


** A fool argues using irrelevant examples # 2



There would be if the LF was centred. Listening to
just the other track in mono confirms this. This recording dates from
the 60's, and was probably made on a three track Ampex 350 series
tape machine, hence the interesting configuration. This is by no
means a unique example.


** A fool argues using irrelevant examples # 3

An even bigger bloody fool argues from the particular to the general.



You are correct in your statement that LF can be routed centre.


** Usenet etiquette and common sense requires one to post under the
other's words - what makes you think you do not have to
????????????????????????????????????????????

Your obvious autism is not an excuse.


At Decca
we called is LF phase, with a switch marked as such on the console.
I studied cutting for a period of two years, under senior engineer Harry
Fisher as a part of my training. LF phase was used only when it was
absolutely necessary.


** As it would be *whenever* there was strong LF content in one channel.


As you so rightly pointed out the vertical modulation
afforded to the cutting head is severely limited, by the thickness of the
lacquer layer on the disc.


** Wrong again - go draw a V shaped groove profile and figure out how
upwards motion is created.

See how small the potential excursion is ????


You make no further mention of helium cooling,


** High time for you to explain what seems a joke to most.



Oh, and Phil.....Please try to be civil.



** Go and get utterly ****ed - you posturing, pommy arsehole.

You are one stupid, arrogant, irrational bloody public menace.

No wonder you actually admire excreta like the Turneroid.



Your insults and expletives do
nothing to strengthen the content of your posts.


** The idea is to get ****ing useless imbeciles like you OFF usenet
altogether !

All you and your putrid ilk do is stand square in the way of any real info
ever being exchanged.

**** off !!!!!!
