That phono stage for 78's really intrigued me when I read about it in Stereophile. Wish I could remember more!
Connect 78 rpm turntable to Vinnie Rossi L2i SE amp?
Hi, this is a very niche question and I'm wondering if anyone has advice: my wife, a filmmaker, needs to play some old 78 rpm records in order to decide which to digitize for a new project. The audio system is great -- built around a Vinnie Rossi L2i SE integrated amp -- but the setup is digital only and lacks a phono stage. The Vinnie Rossi stage costs $3500 and is supposed to be great but way out of her budget. I know we could opt for one of those suitcase record players from our childhoods but I'm hoping for a solution that's better quality and ideally can be run thru the audio system. I should add that I know nothing about turntables, so please be gentle!

@jasonbourne71 Thanks much! The OP would still need a phono preamp. For under 500 bucks he can get the whole Kit and Kaboodle brand new! What you think? |
@yogiboy : what about phono equalization? 78's used a variety of different EQ curves! I wish I could remember the name of the phono stage with selectible EQ curves discussed in that Stereophile article! A modern era RIAA curve would be far from optimal for 78's. |
