No, Al. And what's with the negative attitude? Sheesh! Obviously  
you've never been to Willie's 78 store. It might amuse you to know  
that this "kid" does play the 78s properly through a setup that  
produces fantastic, room-filling sound, with several large speakers  
positioned around the store. The German radio is for decoration. Just  
because the videographer happens to show it in a few frames, you  
assume that's what's producing the sound? I often go there as much to  
shop for 78s as to listen to them on his setup. It sounds like a  
telephone booth to you because you're listening on your computer to a  
YouTube video that doesn't have very great sound to begin with. Or  
maybe *you* need more than those $20 Radio Shack speakers? Next time,  
hold your tongue and take a moment to consider that a 2-minute YouTube  
video likely isn't providing enough information for you to publicly  
pass such harsh judgment.

It sounds as if it's coming from a telephone booth in his basement.
Not even enough sense to put up a couple of $20 Radio Shack speakers.
That operation is doomed.
