Can I use the same cartridge for 78rpm?

I've been offered for a nice and mint collection of 78rpm's.
I can get 78 pooley for my motor but should I change a cartridge?

Talk to Kevin of KAB electroacoustics (www.kabusa.com) and he'll set you up. Tell him I refered you. He's a specialist in vintage recordings and playback equipment. Be warned though, he's another 1200 evangelist and might sell you a modded Technics 1200 ready to play 78's! By the way, the tonearm fluid damper he designed works wonders...simply world class performance!

Dual just doesn't cut it. Need something better. That's why I refer people to Kevin Barrett. He's heavy into vintage recordings transcribing and designed the most complete high end transcription phono preamp on the market. Pretty neat device and will EQ any recording ever made for less that one thousand dollars. Check out Kevin's website. All analog related stuff--a must see. Hey, you might end up with a modded 1200 after all!

One model can even play 16 inch records. His top of the line model, however, is the modded 1200. About $900.
