It's not hard to play 78 rpm records. Just pick up any old ceramic cart table with 78 rpm speed and reversible stylus for 78s and connect to any line level input. No phono pre needed. They'll sound better than ever on your shiny modern system. Lots of unique rare gems to sample. I convert mine to digital up front and play off my music server from there. Try it you'll like it. Oh and welcome back Liz.

It is hard to lump a whole label like ECM together. There is a lot of great interplay, and great musicianship over the years. Some may not be what you favor, but thats music.

Another nice sounding label is CrissCross.

The first RCA Living Stereo was 1954 if memory serves. Actually, '54 through 1960 was what we refer to as the Golden Age of classical music.

I spent many years becoming an "Audiophile", until one day I realized I was trying to hear the differences in wire. If you're still trying to hear the differences in wire, what difference does the music make?

I hope you're back Elizabeth, I believe you're post summed it all up.

Enjoy the music.
