From: Association for Recorded Sound Discussion List I came along at the
very end of new 78s shipping to stores, but I have been told by
old-timers that new 78s hissed loudly when brand new. Is this true? Is
that because of the filler in the shellac or the pickup head itself?
Also, after a few plays with a steel needle, I'm sure the decadents
lounging about their silks and pearls in the Roaring 20s would be
perfectly comfortable hearing our precious antiques on their Victrola.

3) To attempt to recreate the actual original listening
experience by using the same equipment on which the original
record would have been played. However, this takes several
assumptions on our part (without the Holodeck we can never
know EXACTLY what the original owner used!) and also fails
to compensate for wear and damage suffered by the record
during its existence. Note that this has a certain "romantic"
appeal more than anything else...I've been in original 20's
apartments, furnished and decorated in original style, that
needed only a Victrola and a stack of 78's to provide a
sonic backdrop...
