Her website (yes, I succumbed) says they’re louder than you’d think. She does not amplify & guests are usually happy to be able to talk over the music, but she can “hook up to a microphone” if the venue has a PA.
I once went to a hipster party that had a Victrola DJ. It was very fun.

Oh I agree.
You basically cloned my mind. That is exactly, exactly what I was thinking. There’s a point where you become so niche that it seems overdone and I think that might actually become my first usable definition of hipster.
This is pretentious AF and seems straight out of Portlandia, but too obvious even for that.
I happened by a garage sale selling a gramaphone just after I’d bought an Yma Sumac 78. We cranked it up (opened the baffles) and the sound filled an entire block. Some of those gramophones are very loud indeed.
I have to keep telling myself, ‘vinyl’s bad enough- don’t fall for shellac.’
