[78-L] Problem with very high energy incorporated into remastered 78s

[Philip Carli]

The information may be there, but one question is "what is the purpose of hearing it?"  I'm not saying that to be sarcastic, but there are different experiences listening to acoustical records in different ways and with different equipment, and all have advantages and disadvantages according to the philosophy and aesthetics used in the approach. Listening to acousticals in varying mechanical and electronic ways produces very different responses; sometimes "less is more", sometimes you want to uncover hitherto "hidden" sounds, sometimes there is too much (or too little) manipulation, but many considerations have to come into play to assess them.

As Dave Burnham has pointed out, there is a surprising amount of unexpected
information in many acousticals. Some labels were better at capturing bass,
such as OKeh. Years ago I bought a Fisher pre-amp and for some reason, possibly
by accident, tried one switch which said "tape head". This produced some
amazing lows on Stokowski's acousticals.
