And if you gouge holes in a CD no data gets lost ;).
JFTR a Beatles bass
does sound natural, however, even a "Bring the noise"-"Bass! How low can
you go?"-unnatural-bass mixed to one channel only wouldn't make the
needle jump, the needle will jump if you didn't adjust the counterweight
correctly and this btw. isn't the only thing you can adjust for a good
record player. I'm not speaking about audiophile record players, I'm
talking about good record players, e.g. the well known DJ model, but
even some HiFi players are very good. No CD is able to hold a candle to
a record played on a good record player.
I'm not going to pretend I understood anything of this.
I don't know anybody who claims this bass
nonsense.
I gave you a link, but if you look around there are plenty of sources
that claim this, for example here is what soundonsound says:
"There are few 'rules' in music production, but panning bass isn't far
off. It is usually a good idea to pan the bass and kick to the centre.
Partly this is historical (the limitations of vinyl) but, more
importantly, it shares the bass energy equally between the two stereo
speakers. It is also important because the listener will not always be
in the sweet spot, and given that the bass is so critical to the mix,
you want them to hear it wherever they are in relation to the speakers
(this applies to dance music as much as any other -- you want all the
clubbers to feel the same bass groove). "
