Insights into the kind of crap 78-rpm records were made of, and other scarce technical infos.
If you’re not sure what ‘a record’ is, or haven’t ever seen one, you’re excused.
Oh, and by-the-way, 78 is the approximate number you get when you rotate a 46-tooth gear with a 3600 rpm motor. (60 cycles per second.)

Not rage bait, completely fair. Depends on how you define “quality”. To me, records have a warm and full sound that feels nice filling a room with. Also, I think there is something to be said for the act of playing music on a physical media that is annoying to skip songs with. There is something I like about physically looking through the albums on my shelf, picking one out, admiring the cover art, and putting it on. It’s kind of a ritual you don’t get with Spotify. Then I’m basically forced to listen to the whole album front to back, because of the inconvenience of track skipping in that format. There is kind of a ritual to it that is a nice break from digital media. So there is a quality to the whole experience that is somewhat separate from the fidelity of the music.
Or maybe I’m just a hipster trying to justify to myself the money I’ve spent on records lol
You call it a warm sound.
I call it a low-pass filter.
