I really enjoy this compilation. It's taken from old records from the 20's and 30's, so the quality isn't always the greatest. That's my only real complaint, and the opportunity to hear these old recordings far outweighs any quality issues. Also, the quality of some of the recordings is very good.
I wouldn't expect "hi-fi" from stuff this old, it just wasn't a possibility when the source recordings were made. Collections like these offer the average consumer an opportunity to hear how some of the old "greats" rendered the music without having to search high and low (or arm and leg) for 78s and cylinders in acceptable condition.
The sound quality here is condiserably better than the best quality 78s I have in my own collection. In fact, I think the producers and sound engineer whizbangs have worked a miracle by making them sound this clear and dare, I say, lush. To get the best reproduction, turn the steroe function off of your system and if you have an EQ, then play around with the boost and mid lows until you surprise yourself.
