I collect vinyl for non audiophile purposes, Most of the music i listen to is digital AAC and with my average ear I'm happy with that. But sometimes i just like to get out some records and listen to them simply because its fun.
However, I am somewhat uneducated. I have a jazz album (a real album, as in multiple singles in a little book) that is played at 78 RPM and the disks are hard (obviously not vinyl, but i don't know what the material is). When I play the singles, there is a nasty hissing sound that I don't get on my 33 LPs.
First of all is this normal? Secondly are these old records ruining my relatively cheap needle?
