Working with 78’s


Hi. I’m a little new to this. I’m interested in how to transfer audio from 78 rpm records to digital. I’m talking about the thick non bendable records that are read by a thick stylus. I read this thread and it is beyond me:

https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/tonearms-for-reference-78-rpm-system-technics-sp-10r

How do I know what kind of thick stylus and tonearm to use? Is there any one combination of makes and models for turntable, tonearm and stylus that will work for all 78 records?

Pure Vinyl has all the EQ options available at the click of a mouse. All he needs is a 78 RPM Cartridge and Pure Vinyl and he can record any 78 made. 

You get a cartridge specifically for 78s. Ortofon makes one for $20. It can be mounted in any modern arm.

now go to Channel D’s website and look at Pure Vinyl. You will need an Apple Computer.
