[ELI5] Why did digital audio/cds allow for increased dynamic range and wider stereo separation compared to vinyl?
In: Technology
A record player needle can only vibrate so much. That accounts for the higher dynamic range of CDs, the difference between the lowest and highest dB sound it can produce is lower for vinyl. This also accounts for the higher level of stereo (channel) separation. There is a lower dynamic range to work with on vinyl, so the channels can’t be as far apart.
