Cylinders and diamond discs are as incompatible as (in fact more so) as are the microgroove 78s. To my eyes, it sounds like you are essentially saying that only 78s from the 'golden age' (roughly 1960 outside the 3rd world) are the only ones that belong on the 78 site. If you are going to use groove size as a gauge, the the Bell 78s of the 1950s no longer qualify, because even as 7 inch, being microgroove, they said on the label 'use lp stylus' Nope -- the modern 78s belong here -- if only because they are a continuing tribute the beauty of a rapidly rotating record. I'd say -- put 'em in both places! Amy
