How do vinyl records hold stereo sound?

The backwards compatibility achieved by clever "simple mechanics" is very cool!

+1 for Technology Connections! So many good videos and awesome storytelling!
- Yup, love that channel.
- Yes! Really enjoy the depths he goes to while still keeping the narrative interesting.
Isn't it one channel per side of the valley the needle runs along? SavedYouAClick ;)
- Not quite, interestingly enough. Take a gander at the linked video and it's explained very well.
  
  Aw come on I know you're trying to get views, but it's a well known fact the inside of the groove is the left channel, and the outside is the right 🤷‍♂️
Technology Connections is a favorite of mine! Thanks for posting this.
- Yeah, it's good stuff. Thanks for setting up this community, looking forward to seeing other cool things.
The sound in a vinyl record is embossed into a V-shaped groove in which the stylus runs. The left channel is embossed on the left side of the V and the right on the tight hand side. Simples.
