Very cool. Hard to believe those things can contain sound information. Seeing a needle in the groove would probably be horrible. A huge diamond vibrating through the vinyl canyon! I'd never play a record again.

the image i get in my mind is reminiscent of the i. jones movie, 'raiders of...', where he gets chased by the huge stone sphere down some sort of race.

a huge diamond bearing down on you, coming at'cha thru the canyon...:yes:

(well, maybe you had to be there. (in my imagination, that is)) :yes: no

I'll bet he even cleaned the LP before the test. No wonder there are pops and clicks.

agreed, good stuff. I wish I had a decent microscope.

The dirt looks like boulders clinging to a mountain, lol.

FWIW, he used an electron m'scope, not a 'regular' m'scope.
