That sounds almost like you're describing some sort of error correction on
a piece of vinyl...

Such a two-tracked record could be played on a deck with a two-needle arm,
the distance between needle tips equalling the distance between groove
valleys. The advanced deck would be less susceptible to bumps *and* able to
take the two signals and subtract noise from either, like a pair of
chromosomes. Something like that could be "complete without surface
noise"...
