    One reason that it sounds so good is that the weight on the needle and the thickness of the record were all much heavier back then the machines that were used to cut the grooves made deeper and wider grooves because the material could withstand it but it was at the expense of the range and depth of sound nowadays records and needles are much finer to get the subtle tones but they wouldn't last anywhere near as well as your records and record player from back then

      The modern needles are almost the same as the 1950s needles.

    I have a radio phonograph hybrid from 1938 that belonged to my great great grandfather. At first it played nothing more than buzzing, but we cleaned it up and replaced a tube (anyone who does this stuff would know what I mean) and now the radio works just fine. The record player is still broken tho. I’m trying to fit in the time to visit this guys business to get them to replace and clean up a few parts of the motor. Hopefully we can get it working.
