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.)

Here’s some flame bait:
Why would you want to listen to your music in this inferior format? I get it if there aren’t any modern recordings or quality transfers but to actually sit down and enjoy the low signal to noise ratio of a record just boggles the mind.
I tend to click around when I’m listening to digital music, it’s so easy to put on something else, skip a track, and generally fuck about.
If I’m listening to vinyl I tend to listen to the entire album. It’s a better way of focussing my attention.
