The pop labels lowered the quality and raised the price to discourage sales. Last 78s on Capitol were about the very low 4000s, late 1958 I've held a Nat King Cole Capitol 4004 copy. It has all come from using old equipment in the 21st century. I'm not old enough to remember any of this. I'm considering finding and using an original 1970s stereogram as my main player as if it still if before 1980: any thoughts on doing this considering the above points? 80s and 90s gear generally had no condsideration for 78s at all. They have no flippable option like their 70s counterparts.
My budget all-in-one player has a 78 facility and plays them well with the vinyl stylus. 2010s equipment for 78s is catering for a long dead format, so they may be made to less knowledgable standards. Much like current players with CD/Tape facilities or 90s/early 2000s with vinyl players. The 1970s equipment with the flippable stylus was because shellac was still a current but retro format. I'm not sure if these 2 factors will even each other out so that playing on original equipment is equally damaging on modern gear, or if one factor outways the other? However, I think the stylus material (diamond) would be more damaging than original (pre-1950) equipment. So modern tonearms should be less wearing due to weight. Shellac is organic material, so it will naturally wear down with play. Much heavier than modern (1970s on) ones. Mechanical gramophones (pre-electric) had and do have heavy tonearms. The loud ones would wear the record down more quickly and original packets had recommendations of how many plays each type should have. Each for the level of loudness you wanted (gramophones didn't have volume controls) Soft, standard or loud. In addition: There were also different types of 78 needle.
