Eccentric records only introduce wow, not flutter. And
yes it is audible depending on the severity.
Yes. However another irreducable problem - the non-flatness of the vinyl
causes FM distortion with high enough frequency content to qualify as
flutter.
There there is the inherent FM distortion due to bass modulation and tone
arms that are not linear tracking.
But IME wiht most LPs it is not an issue and would only be noticable
to those who, for whatever reason, are very very
sensitive to that sepcific problem.
We hear this from people who favor vinyl all the time.
This suggests to me
that there must be some kind of highly selective hearing disorder that
causes people to have substandard levels of sensitivity to FM distoriton.
It would be interesting to put your ability to the test under blind
conditions to hear all those nasty distortions on a real high end
player with a quality LP. I know that will never happen but my money
would be against you. And you wonder why some of us think you have a
severe prejudice against vinyl? Do show us the peer reviewed published
literature that supports this nonsense about those of us with this
alleged "hearing disorder."
I don't know of
anyone who wishes to *add* wow or flutter to the sound of
their playback though.
From the standpoint of those of us who are so sensitive to FM distortion
that we avoid LPs playback whereever possible, we tend to see those who
listen to LPs that have been reissued as good CDs as being in the categor=
