I think I have being explaining something not known until now....anyway is not just shifting but is also getting rid of mechanical vibrations without affecting the playing and this is what I call highest possible dynamical rigidity in the working band. If you try to do it with a conventional arm-cartridge set-up with no vibration treatment it will not work.....one has to settle around the usual 10 Hz tuning.
The argument was that it is not possible to play the fundamental notes of the organ. Instead it is possible. I have listened organs in all their magnificence all the time.
As much as I love vinyl I seriously doubt that 8Hz and 16Hz (64' and 32') pipes can be reproduced by vinyl, certainly harmonics of those pipes can be reproduced. I would be surprised if most cutter amps do not have a deliberately limited bandwidth, not to mention the low likely cutter inductance at those frequencies, my understanding is that there is not much below 20Hz other than noise on vinyl. (Groove modulation at those frequencies and amplitudes would excite the cartridge/arm resonance in most instances imho)
Analog master tapes were band limited on the low end by virtue of head response (physics related to head gap length and tape speed) and in fact the problem gets worse at higher tape speeds due to the gap size. (Higher speeds are great for extended high frequency response, but have the reverse effect on the low frequency response, IIRC insufficient gap length at low frequencies for good performance.)

It has no resonance at usual frequency, actually the entire system has no nasty resonances in the entire working band (i.e. audio band + 1 octave below and 1 octave above, at least). That spectrum is clean enough to get more than the full dynamics one can put in a record! I don't think you read carefully.
I would agree, analog and 18hz 😕
I'm running 4, 18 inch woofers for subs ,18 hz is very doable with low excursion and thd, most dont have such capabilities, so whats the big deal,
especially from those running toobs ..

More often the limit is set by speakers-room interaction actually! There is a huge masking going on, no matter how a speaker system will measure then one has to put in a room and has to distinguish from real bass in the record and nasty bass that has nothing to do with the original music...but this is another subject.
We are here to talk about this probably because there are very little arguments against the superiority of vinyl?😉
It is not just shifting, you have to dissipate the mechanical energy into something if you don't want it back into your signal. You have to get rid of it otherwise you get troubles....
It's not changing the laws of physics. It's just understanding and using them properly, I am afraid!
Not true, he never changed it , just moved it out of the way ....😛
That's what I said.
It doesn't matter, you have to focus on the problem (of music reproduction in the best possible way) and solve it. Yes I can measure it and that's why I am so sure! 🙂
It is eliminated from the working band! Are you interested in 1Hz reproduction? There is very little damping, actually. Otherwise the transmissibility of the "springs" gets worse (i.e. the slope is slower and that's not good for a really clean bass).
The rotomoss is the minor brother. The arm is very similar. It is wire suspended. The all system is then isolated by means of subsonic suspension.
