Yeah, it may go down to 0 Hz, but no amplifier would amplify these
signals. Virtually all amplifiers cut off below ~50 Hz. You can do more
than just make people shit themselves, I personally don't fancy being
eviscerated by the sub-bass I love :)
Incidently this amplifer point is interesting in that quite a few
amplifiers, cut out all frequncies above 25 kHz anyway. So the people
who are claiming that vinyl is better because you get lot of really high
end stuff >25 kHz, better check their Amplifier specs!!!!!
