It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: I'm sure that something was sacrificed

Yes, but of course, one could get a brand spankin' new high rez Rachmaninoff recording by someone else rather than listen to cleaned-up pseudo Rachmaninoff himself. If they're audibly altering the performance, what's the point?
For example, I can see how switching Gould's 1955 Goldbergs to a Yamaha piano could annoy people. But perhaps because Gould himself ultimately switched to Yamaha, it doesn't overly offend my ears. Also, I suspect that when the source material sounds better, and the original Gould Goldbergs does sound pretty good, the Zenph result is better. But I'd guess the earlier, higher noise, higher distortion 78s might not work out as well, at least in terms of accurately reproducing the original, which is what many care about most for historical material.
