The problem I'm having with my turntable is the pitch is off by around three
points as that's how much I have to correct it in goldwave to match the way
it's ment to. For instance the AC DC track let's get it up is in the key of
e, but it's in f with this turntable, and I have to bring the pitch down in
goldwave to 97.00 percent.

Thanks Matthew for the info. Actually I have a Guitar center quite close
here so I guess I'll pay them a visit and see what they have now. It
sounds like you've had yours for a while now.

I don't remember the model that I bought at the Guitar Center, but it's a
Stanton. I needed to be sure that it would play 78s if I spent the extra
money to get the parts for a 78 stylus, so I asked that question at the
store. We tested this, and on the model I found, you press the 33 and 45
buttons at the same time, and it swings up to 78rpm. Once I got that
figured out, I then had to get the 78 playing capability. The clerk looked
up the particular needle I'd need to get, and I bought an extra headshell
so I could unscrew the one for 33 and put in the one for playing 78s. The
thing is that you need to get the three pieces separately. The needle fits
onto the mounting bracket with the wires, and that part gets wired into
the headshell. I needed sighted help with this project. Replacing the
needle itself isn't a problem, since that just slides off and then on
again. I hope this helps. If you're not in close proximity to a helpful
store like Guitar Center, Stanton were very helpful over the phone with
their descriptions. Oh also, if you have a patch cord to run audio to your
computer, and you intend to transfer things digitally, you don't need to
get a USB model. I find that USB carries a lot of noise over its wire, so
using the standard mixer works fine if you've already got a mixer setup.
