My neighbor has the current Pioneer DJ style table that has a street price of about $250. It's pretty good for the price and it plays 78's. That's one of the reasons he bought it. He had ONE 78 that he wanted to hear, so he wanted a table that had the option to play 78's.
Best options today for 78 playback?
Well it looks like I have inherited a couple of boxes full of assorted 78rpm records from family.
No idea how well they play...yet.
Visually they look decent, not cleaned any as of yet.
So looking for cost effective solution to actually play these!
Do not want anything too crazy priced but would like to listen to them at least once.
What are options for 78rpm tt? Anybody make new or are we looking at used? I read you need a specific stylus for them as well? Special cartridge too??
This will be hooked up to a phono stage as the system I will add too does not have phono specific input, so do I need a special phono stage as well?
Thank you
