Sorry if this digresses a bit, but why is 45rpm better-sounding than 33? I'd always assumed it may be to do with how much of the record the stylus can pass through in a given period of time! Also one reason why reel to reel sounds better than compact cassette (due to the higher speed) and why the 'long play' facility on VCRs was never as good.
