Very true.

If you knew the settings for the cutter lathe you could do the same for vinyl too,
despite some audiophools not understanding this point ( they think it has unlimited

But it is different for every disc - the point with CD is that you can
set it once and forget it.

CD makes it simpler for sure since there is a clearly defined 'brick wall'.

Just pointing out that vinyl doesn't have some supposed infinite headroom.
