I forgot to mention that a lot of 78s didn't use the same response curve as the modern RIAA standard so they won't sound their best through an RIAA phono stage. If you get serious about it then you will want to get a phono stage with adjustable curves.

You should use a stylus designed to play these records. The size of the groove is much larger than modern records. Shure sells a stylus N78S that fits your cartridge for $40 that is designed for these records. |
