How to pick a stylus to play a 78-rpm record (www.vjm.biz)

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.)

Further wisdom such as this is found by the ton here: http://www.78rpmrecord.com/links.htm

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.
