Not much difference between 78 and 80 rpms, I'd bet the average listener who was familiar with a song wouldn't even notice.

45's played at 33 are very noticeable, but also a sometimes enjoyable novelty. I work with two guys who like playing 45's at 33 rpms, sometimes it's fun other times it drives me nuts. My buddies tape label has a whole album of 45's at 33 Heavy Curtains. You can listen to the tape online, it's fun enough.

The wife and I recently inherited a jukebox and I don't know how many 45's (a few hundred maybe?). When I told my work mates about it they both said "bring em in so we can play em at 33.
