Now if you are like me, you may be thinking, "*Oh he's **just going to be
playing regular Vinyl LPs on standard sound equipment."*Not so! Jim is
going back to the original shellac 78's, and as he says on his Facebook Page

:



*The original 78's are the overall best source for classic program. They
are not compressed, limited, re-pitched, re-speeded or re-equalized, they
are as the music was intended to be heard. The 78's are the most dynamic of
all the Tango music sources, and contrary to popular myth, when properly
tracked, have excellent frequency response, they sound almost live.*



And for playback equipment, he states that:



*I am using a far superior signal path, audiophile stylus/phono cartridges,
audiophile preamps, mixer, amplifiers and loudspeakers, this is why I can
get the majesty that is on the old discs, that others cannot. I track the
78's at 2-3 grams of tone arm weight, a fraction of the original pressure.*
