I remember my parents having a magnavox console stereo with a tuner, reel to reel and a turntable with a speed of 16. I was 10 and played iron man at speed 16, and it was scary, ask my younger sister. Anyone out there have 16rpm records?
My dad actually purchased a couple of 16 records for his turntable, which evidently had the speed. Or did we just hear a couple of 16 rpm records at a hi-fi show? In any case, they sounded rough and lo-fi.
I remember terrorizing my sister with Iron Man, but pretty sure it was 33 and 1/3.
At the risk of going OT, what is rationale for special audiophile lps that play at 45 rpm? I listen to digital but I’m always fascinated by vinyl technology.
