ACGhifiaudio - Vinyl and 78 rpm in HI-FI
Sweden
Registrace 20. 03. 2021
The scope of this channel is to dive in to the fascinating world of vinyl and 78 rpm records. Exploring how to play them, the gear, preamp, correction curve or EQ-setting, software. I will upload recordings of vinyl and 78 rpm records hoping people which has recently discovered this hobby can find the information useful and also be inspired by the nice sound that actually can be reproduced if all if and then and why's are sorted out. I'v been tinkering around with records and tube gear for more than 30 years but still learning. Hopefully others will contribute by commenting and spreading knowledge.
JELLY ROLL MORTON - Shoe Shiner's Drag 1928 HQ sound
Recorded on the 11th of June 1928 in New York at the Liederkrantz Hall. Here with his Red Hot Peppers. I was impressed by this recording, the deep tone from the tuba, the kickdrum starting at 2:17 and so on. What a blast!

BLIND WILLIE JOHNSON It's Nobodys Fault But Mine - 78 rpm
zhlédnutí 136Před 4 měsíci
Recorded in Dallas in December of 1927. The first recording session he made. Unfortunately the sound is poor, worst in the beginning and improving thereafter. Particularely intresting is his singing with deep voice and shouting. This is a re-upload after some sound improvement. Early blues or Gospel blues.

Recorded in New york 1907(?) when Geraldine Farrar performed at the Metropolitan. This is supposed to be the third edition Puccini made of Madame Butterfly after it's premiere at the Scala in Milan were It was not appreciated. Puccini was perhaps present and this edition was much applauded by the audience. Geraldine debuted at the "MET" only the year before with La Traviata but made a spectacul...

Very good demonstration, thank you.
is that record by Artie Shaw?
One of his first and best songs ✌️
Hello ! Thanks for your demonstration. I am used to play the record one time on a phonograph machine when I buy a 78 rpm which seems to be not clean and then I play it back on a pick up with lighter pick-up head , the record is cleaner.
Gracias por compartir y muy bueno el trabajo de "restauración" sonora se escucha nítido aún conservando la grabación original 👌💪😁
kept waiting for his guitar, but with piano and horns it's still great!
My dad had this record!
Such a great band. Very nice setup.
What a find - that’s my dad on drums. When he died my brother had all of his recordings with all the jazz greats of that era and he left them boxed in his garage in Austin, Texas. They all warped! My other brothers and I wanted to kill him. So hearing this recording is an incredible test for us all. Thank you.
Great transfer! This song gives me life...
Jimmy Reed always brought that swing.
Great to hear thanks
I'm smiling
00:10
So much fun!
Originally released on {American} Columbia 14219-D.
Oh my this is superb!
Incredible sound! I’m impressed, and I am in no way an audiophile. 😉👍🏽
Love a your posts! Thanks!
こんにちは。素敵です。thank you for the great music😍
Brilliant. Incredible sound quality; bravo!
Thank you!
The thrill remains.
Cool. Pre signature string bending, or at least that technique seems to be missing from this record.
Yes, seem to be the same with the other 5 songs I uploaded from 52-55. Haven’t heard him doing that style, more rock than blues, that’s wy I uploaded them. Thank you for your comment.
Wonderful Leadbelly on his 12 string. Big heavy strings, you bet. Covering Bessie Smith's classic blues song. RIP Leadbelly and Bessie Smith. Love 78s.
Thank you for the info. Must check if I have this with Bessie.
@@acghifiaudio-vinyland78rpm53 Bessie Smith wrote this song after being rowed in a rowboat across a backwater Mississippi River flood. Thank God she made it.
Superb sound quality like 1950 rather than 1930!
Thank you for preseving all this wonderful music history
ACGhifiaudio very useful technical details, thanks for sharing all these things... I have a ks musicmaster 511h turntable and i work hard to make it play 78',i use Shure 75mg with 75n 2.5mil needle I wand to improve the sound in my Chanel and your video makes me wondering if a mono cartridge like audio technica mono sp worth the money for it? Mono sp doesn't need a preamplifier? I will be thankful if you answer me..
I’m not familiar with the musikmaster 511, is it a newer or older player? Your Shure pickup is a stereo-type cartride and works fine playing diagonal cut mono (later years) records. For lateral cut i recomend a true mono cartridge and the audio technica at3mono sp is such a cartridge. It should not give an output signal for vertical movement. The SP can have a high, or relatively high vertical tracking force. What could perhaps be considered is the tonearm compliance which is 3-4 times lower than for ”normal” stereo cartridhes. The stiff suspension of cantillever is positive but transfer more energy to the tonarm and it’s bearings. If you can find specifications for your tonearm it should be able ti handle values down to 4-5 10^-6 nm. The SP has a compliance value of 3.5. If your arm is of older type, sturdy and hevvy, it shoud nit be a problem. If it is lightweight and flimsy you could get problem with distortion. You can hear that quite often in youtube uploads of 78 were to light tonearms are used. The output of the SP is high 1.2 mV for a MC cartridge but still low compared to a MM(~5mV).You still need a preamplifier to get a ”RIAA” equalisation but probably you do not need a SUT, step up transformer which otherwise is reccommended for MC cartridges.
Thanks for your answer..! Musicmaster is a Japanese semiprofessional turntable build at 1965 for 78rpm more,the tonearm is heavy and long so if i learn correctly ,for all the 78rpm mono cartridge is a must...
Thank you! Now I'm looking for. more. New sub!
Great sound on yours! Looks better than mine too.
Early BB is great!
Ain’t nothing like the real thing!
Alright!!! Sounds fantastic, Thanks !
This is new to me . Great .
Sounds great! Can you tell us about noise reduction, EQ, and so on? That looks like an Ortofon cart.
Glad You like it. Of course! The cart is an Ortofon type C from the early 50's, despite the letter A on the housing, with an 90um stylus (3.5 mil). EQ is similar to RIAA (500N13.7) in my custom built preamplifier from my video: czcams.com/video/P0CeC4Q8xo4/video.htmlsi=oa-np3MUdG9kEiIY These preamps were perhaps built by Klangfilm in Germany but had no EQ filters. I've built the EQ filter myself and it is similar to the filter of the EMT 139 stb I have added a bass shelf, which was later introduced in the RIAA curve as well in 1976. And perhaps a little less than 13.7 db attenuation of 10khz. I record the sound from the preamplifier in 24 bit 96khz with Wavelab 12 PRO were I use a declick filter. Then I use Spectralayer 10 pro to reduce noise and remove clicks which the de-click filter could not remove. Then I normalise everything to about -2 or -3db. That's almost all.
B.B. King can rock and roll!
@@acghifiaudio-vinyland78rpm53Wow! You just got a subscriber.
Equalization curve applied? Assume RIAA?
Yes, this record is from 1956 and Capitol introduced The New Ortofonic equalization in 1952, what later became RIAA (500N13.7). That would make RIAA the correct equalisation for this record. However, I chose to make a bass shelf, a roll-off of low frequency. Was perhaps not neccessary at the time but with "modern" cartridges and preamps the bass will be to strong. A bass shelf was later (1976?) introduced in the RIAA curve. I have built several preamplifiers and the one I use here is custom built/modified and explained in my video: czcams.com/video/P0CeC4Q8xo4/video.htmlsi=b80a1fvmZZQK_oz8 Bare in mind that many record companies did not introduced the RIAA until many years later, even though claiming to.
A jaunty tune.
Absolute classic!
Can she be considered the "mother of the blues?" You betcha!
But she doesn't know who's the daddy.
My favorite BWJ 78, with his iconic song Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground. EXTREMELY RARE! My dream 78.
That is a good song as well and rare but probably not more rare than this song. I can upload it if you like it that much. Thanks for the comment.
Beautiful! BWJ is a favorite. Don’t have any of his 78s though.
if its dust why not air blow it out and away?
Yes. That works. I tried it many years ago and it is quite effektive. Unfortunately my comptessor is old and some oilmist follows with the air. Leaving a fine oily residue on the record gunking up the cartridge needle. It was as well difficult to get it even over the surface leaving some dust left. One could trying doing it while the record is spinning but I need to install a air cleaner filter on my air hose before trying again. Thanks for the comment!
I love these old 78's I have a few myself ❤
Really nice recording/playback. It brings Ginger out to the front where you can hear his swing/shuffle rhythm clear. Never heard it like this before! And Jack's singing/bass... Wow! Thank you! ❤😊😊😊
Agree with you! thank you for the comment!
Another great hard rockin' originator 'Jimmy Reed' from 1957. Growing up in the 50's & 60's listening to blues and R&B from the 30's on gave me a total disgust for the 'British Invasion'. Do you know why, or do you need instructions? Maby for me it's because in the 50's after my father went to work my mother would tune the radio to a blues/r&b station dancing, cooking breakfast and doing housework. We still danced to gutbucket blues until she passed in 2008. That's my joy and great memories. I'm so glad that now almost all this music can be found and put things in the proper order. Thanks so much for all the music!!! 😊😊😊😊
Glad you liked it. Today radio focus on commercials and advertises and crappy music. I’m glad I saved my records and I’m gonna share as much I can together with other who also share what they have. Thanks for your comment!!
When Music was Alive!😊❤
what a great channel!! thank u for all ur hard work!!
Thank you for the appreciation of my work!
Yes, I agree. It’s a laboursome work and I use sofwares to restore the sound. Takes me about three evenings to do a song. Glad you liked it!
Surprisingly wonderful sound!
Dig it! Nice turntable!
Pops had in his collection recordings of several operas. As a child he would wait outside the French Opera House on Bourbon St.and listen for any music he could catch. Around ages 7-9 he reportedly included some aria-like phrasing in his singing with a quartet of friends singing on street corners for change from passers-by. (Joshua Berrett, "Louis Armstrong and Opera", Musical Quarterly 76 (No. 2, 1992) pp. 216-240. This excerpt (by other performers) may have been one of many he heard. You have a splendid collection; thank you for your careful work.
Thank you for this information, it was new to me. I have a lot of Pops records and will keep it in mind while playing them. Thank you!
I don't get it: the music started playing before the needle dropped. Is this your actual 78 playing or just a repressing you are using for audio? I have never seen this kind of tom-foolery before, but it casts doubt on your authenticty, and, strangely, on authenticity of everyone else who purports to be playing 78s on video.
Haha, glad you notice, but there is no foolery. Every now and then people ask the same question. It’s simple. The audio is recorded separately in a computer, then processed and restored if neccessary. While the video is captured with a camera. In the making of the video these are two separate files which have to be aligned again. Has always been the case, also in movie production were you se the use of a clapper. In some of my early videos of my channel I got several komments that it was taking to long before the music started. So for the respect of other peoples time, I meen they have other things to do than waiting 4-5 seconds for the music to start, I advance the sound so It’s starting immidiately. If you look closely you will se that there is i cut in the middle of the movie file were I overlap the now two parts of the movie file so that it ”catches up” the audio and they both end at the same time. No hoax just editing, speaking for my part at least :) (if you look at my last upload of Geraldine Farrar I think audio and video are better in sync)
