![]() It then spread throughout the entire record industry. Later on, the standard became 78 RPM due to the speed of the manufacturing machines. Since 1894, Berliner’s Gramophone Company started selling 70 RPM 7-inch records. In the beginning, the speeds varied from 60 to 130 RPM. It represents how many times it can spin on the record player in a single minute. The name ‘78’ comes from the number of revolutions per minute (RPM) this record plays at. ![]() The public is less interested in the 78s due to their obscureness and lack of proper use. Industry demands have a lot to do with the types of records circulating. Vintage turntables can do the job, but they are hard to come by and even harder to maintain. Since 78s have been out of production for years, the chances are a turntable to play them on won’t be easy to find. 33s come up in record stores or online sales, but they aren’t in demand as much. ![]() This format is beloved among record companies, as it can contain a full album. This essentially includes 45s, also known as LPs. Vinyl production has reappeared in recent times. Most of the time, a single turntable only plays one kind of record at a time. There are record players that can play both 33s and 45s. It’s not possible to play any type of record on any turntable. ![]() The younger generations are here for it too, and they’re in need of some vinyl 101. DJs and music connoisseurs aren’t the only ones thrilled to dust off their worn-out turntables. Vinyl has been making such a comeback in the last decade or so, and it looks like it’s not stopping anytime soon. The first is the size of the record, the second comes down to the material, and the third includes revelations per minute (RPM). One of the big arguments of those who say playing a record at the incorrect speed does not cause any damage is that there have been no scientific studies on this topic and no real proof to show otherwise.There are several significant things to consider to help differentiate between 33, 45, and 78 records. Furthermore, they cite examples of people playing favorite records at the wrong speed for many years, unaware that they have done so, and without any signs of accelerated wear. In fact, they say that records were meant to be played at different speeds, and as long as you are not playing them at ridiculous ones (i.e., more than 100 rpm), then there is no harm in doing so. People from the opposite side of this debate argue that there is no real evidence to show that playing a record at the wrong speed damages it in any way. But even those who advocate this standpoint cannot name any possible harm that can occur while playing a record at a slower speed than expected. They are sure that if you keep doing this, eventually, these grooves will lose their shape and become unreadable. It is because the grooves will be moving faster when they are played back than if they were to play at 33 rpm. Those who believe that it does say that if you play a 33 rpm record at 45 rpm, you are putting more stress on the groove than if you were playing it at the proper speed. The faster a record is playing, the higher the sound coming out of your speakers will become. The slower the turntable is going, the lower the pitch will be. The pitch of the music will be off as well. If you do so, the pace of the music is not the only thing that is affected. What happens when you are playing a record at the wrong speed?
