Magnified Record Groove Photo


Just saw this interesting photo posted on another non-audio site I frequent

This picture doesn’t look real.  First, at this high a magnification, you would not see such obvious curvature of the grooves; what radius are we looking at, less than an inch?  The distance between the grooves is way more than I’ve seen in other photos.

The fidelity gained from such an absurd mechanism is amazing. I am listening to an amazing vinyl recording right now… really amazing.
