The Joe Perry Project

I listened to this album last night. Joe had made this statement to Jeff Beck's family:

Joe PerryJeff Beck was the Salvador Dali of guitar, to see him play was to hear the ultimate 6 string alchemist create magic in a world of its own. With his passing, the world is a poorer place. Our heartfelt sympathies go out to Sandra. We share your sorrow.”

And a pair of back-to-back tracks from the album:

With 78 rpm surface speed, I think there are fewer frequency issues. The limitations are/were in the hardware (and it was HARDware.

Just see the improvement 45 rpm makes over 33.3… 78 is to 45 as 45 is to 33.3…

Imagine how good virgin vinyl could sound at 78 rpm with the latest technology and decades of experience…
Another video I just got around to doing…

Hey Mark,
Another home run on this video. Really nice comparison.
I have a fair selection of shellac 78's and have a special stylus mounted up on a separate headshell so I can
interchange it when I want to listen to one of the "oldies".
I have always wondered about the comparison that you just presented, very cool.
Thank You for another great video !

I have five different points for the Ortofon Super OM, a spherical for 78s, a spherical for microgroove, stylus 10 and 30 elliptical, and a DJ spherical. I have a generic of the Goldring Elan, with a 78 point, a .6mil spherical, and a .2x.7 elliptical. I keep the same cart mounted, just swap the points and increase pressure a few grams.

Glad you liked the video- a pain in the sphincter to edit! But at least I got to use the “rabbit hole” joke…
