No. Fidelity came in when 33x REPALCED 78s. 78s had been standard for decades.


The first (few) vinyl records (in the 1940's) were 78s. They were of very high fidelity--better than 33's because more resistant to wear. I still have great nostalgia for the beautiful rose-colored disks of Rubenstein's *Apassionata*, unavailable in any version for a long time but (at least in my memory) better than his later versions.
