^^Wow sounds like you earned that name......LOL. Quick question, If I do try to play these 78's(which I'm not sure if these old records I have are 78's or not)what would they sound like with a regular stylus??
Because these sound like they are pitched down and they sound very dirty....they don't look that dirty?? :?

What do you think?? :?

Thanks :D

they sound pitched down because 78 is fast, if you play it ,it's goin to sound thin cause the needle for 78 is thick the grooves are thicker too.

hence the name of the thread.

the crackle pop is the chunks of dirt in the inner groove thats chippin away at your diamond tip.
