Re: [ARSCLIST] discography of "direct-to-disk revival"?

OK, no offense but anyone who hears "perfect sound" on 78 has tin ears! That medium is low-fidelity 
by any serious definition. The only reason I can see listening to a 78 is if the performance is so 
to your taste that you can imagine it sounding good -- because what's coming off those grooves ain't 
near sounding good!
