what are you listening to?

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…

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…

The young ones are just picking up where we left off fuckin everything up. Pollution, drugs, WWII, Iraq, Afghanistan etc..... was not the youngsters faults.... We taught them very well and also left them a mess. Can they figure it out? Hell No.... we brought them up fucked up like we are leaving a fucked up world for them.

I'd be curious of a repeat with the same stylus across the board, to remove that variable. Perhaps a spherical across the board? I'm wondering if the stylus to groove relationship is causing/altering dynamics...
