This is a question Redundant technology

Music on vinyl records, mobile phones the size of house bricks and pornography printed on paper. What hideously out of date stuff do you still use?

Thanks to boozehound for the suggestion

Strictly speaking vinyl can get more high end than a cd.
A cd will top out at 22khz. In theory vinyl can do better than that. In practise it won't, and the top will wear off very quickly, and you'll need a very good pickup and fresh styli to hear it.

Which if you are above the age of 6 you won't
As your upper register will give up and go home long before that.

But they can still interact with other sub-frequencies.
In theory at least.

I'm 24, I can still hear above 17khz (as proved by crt-whistle).

CRT whistle is 15.625kHz
When I was 30 I could still hear above 17kHz. I'm the top side of 40 now - it would be interesting to find out how my ears are deteriorating. I still think I have good hearing!

Heh, my mate told me he had hearing trouble
As evidenced by a free test down a phone line.

I had to teach him a science lesson in frequency response.
