Some of the greatest performances ever recorded are on that "limited" medium, yet people return to them time and again for musical satisfaction, seeming not to miss "extended frequency response and dynamic range" or "noise-free reproduction".
Let me put a further word in. Many or most of the dubs/transfers available today on CD have been processed up the wazoo (mostly to "reduce noise") and thereby have been robbed of the musical expression a listener who simply drops a needle onto a 78 will hear and enjoy. It's a crime; and ought to be a hanging crime.
