I was perusing another forum and the subject of stylus speed, inner groove distortion etc. came up. A person mentioned how the stylus travels faster through the groove on the outer tracks than it does on the inner tracks. Being the simple person I am I asked why a 5 minute track isn't the same groove length on the first track of a 12" LP as it is on the last, or inner most track, assuming one could straighten out the groove and measure the length. I linked to this forum, cartridge setup, null points etc. but no one there seemed too interested.
Then I started thinking about it. Obviously the circumference is greater on the outside than the inside.
So, simply stated, does the outer portion of the groove sound better than the innermost part?
