Magnified Record Groove Photo


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

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

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.
