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.)

    Good stylus amp and mastering it can sound great. But really for me it’s about being in the moment and present with the music, the act of putting on a song or two at a time makes you actively listen. Like going to a concert, which is rarely the very best version of a song.
