[78-L] The audio casette is making a comback

[Kristjan Saag]

So why do we play those noisy, hissing, cracking, warping 78's? Bit of 
nostalgia involved, too - no?
Besides: being an audiophile (lover of sound) does not necceseraly mean 
you define audio fidelity (true sound) as a measurable entity. That's 
why it was perfectly reasonable that many audiophiles, in the early 
digital era, claimed that LP:s sounded better than CD:s, despite the 
surface noise, which usually is absent in the concert hall or recording 
studio. Some audiophiles still do.
