San Diego Zoo Lines: 25 A little bit over a week ago I asked the net a question about why one can weakly hear a song before it starts on a record. In response I got two main answers, both of which I had suspected in the first place. One of these reasons is print through on the master tape, ie. where the magnetic information on a piece of tape rearranges the patterns on the next layer of tape on the reel. The other reason cited was called groove echo, in which the cutting tool deforms the master disk, and thus pushes the modulations over into grooves wich have alredy been cut. Responses varied from one end to the other, some stating that the problem was due entirely to print through ,and others saying that it was entirely groove echo. Then there were some responses saying that it could be one or the other depending on circumstances, which to me seems to be the most reasonable, although I still wonder which is the more prevalent cause. Thanks to all who replied. -- ihnp4--\ fritzz the Zebra decvax--\ akgua----\ *** BY YOUR COMMAND *** dcdwest---\ kgbvax-----\ ucbvax-------- sdcsvax -- sdcc3 -- fritzz
