"Unfortunately, it is not possible to measure the signal to noise ratio without specifying the bandwidth."
Thanks for the answer Tony. It is very much along the lines of what I thought you were alluding to. Your right we weren't speaking in terms which are clear beyind the scope of the unmentioned assumptions which we all made, including me. point taken.
Since we care about results that are audible it would make sense, to me at least, to consider "the answer" in that context.
The answer I was really searching for is the maximum dynamic range possible under best case conditions of say a mid band signal according to theory and in practice and what mechanisms dictate it? You give a number of 70dB but is there an explanation for that number?
"The fact of the matter is that a clean, well made LP has about 70 db of signal to noise ratio in the audio band."
Where does this 70dB figure come from? Measured, theorized, somewhere else entirely? Not trying to dispute, and I don't wish to be difficult. Just trying bridge the mental gap I have between what I think is happening and what is really happening.
