What's the frequency response of vinyl?


How much bass response is available from vinyl? I'm just getting back into it, so I have no basis for comparison to CD.

The bass response of vinyl is beyond what you're capable of hearing so you need not worry for your purposes. There are some practical difficulties in recording very low frequencies because of the size of the vibrations on the record groove. It could literally bounce the stylus out of the groove. The greater limitation will be your turntable and what limitation the recording engineer put on the recording, rather than the record itself. Actually, as an aside, record warp will produce a frequency around 8 HZ. You won't hear it but it can cause damage to your system.
