Skeptoid: Digital vs Vinyl

[kraut]

Perhaps you should actually read up on the read mechanisms involved with contact stylii, and about plastic and elastic deformation in vinyl.

Yes, I have done that enough over the last fifty years I play back vinyl.
The statement was done categorically - so who please is unprofessional here - without reference to cartridge mass, tracking weight, tracking angle (not existing in tangential arme, airbearing or motor driven) etc. etc. I for instance run wet, so some lubrication of the interface stylus/track walls is provided reducing friction.

Doesn't matter, the acceleration of the stylus is the issue.

Of course, you can make it a lot worse if you try.

Now, you've claimed expertise, eh? Mine is public knowlege, please show your fully and without doubt, and do so immediately.

I'll say it again, every play of vinyl causes some amount of damage unless you've got one of those laser turntables.
What's more, two plays in a row, with little time in between plays, is even worse.

I'm simply citing the known facts. You claim otherwise, well, show us your evidence. Your claim is the extraordinary one, so you owe us extraordinary evidence.
