turntables

I am wondering whether anyone on list can recommend a turntable which will play 78 RPM records. Not crazy about USB because of the problems that some folks have had. I have some old 78s saved since childhood which I would enjoy playing, so I don't want to sink much money into it. I do have a

Actually I have an inovative technologies turntable that is USB optional, but it also does have the RCA patch cord built in. - Original Message - From: Donald L. Roberts donald.robert...@gmail.com To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2013 11:05 AM

I think if you can find a Thomas Picconi or Studebaker turntable, this may be your only hope. you may have to resample the 78 rpm records to listen to them on the computer or something. good luck finding something. - Original Message - From: Donald L. Roberts

I forget the model of the Stanton turntable I bought at my local Guitar Center about a year ago, but if you press the 33 and 45 buttons at the same time, it swings up to 78rpm. I also bought an additional headshell, which is the bit that screws onto the arm, so that I could switch them out.

I think the Teac 350 had a ceramic cartridge on it. not much for tonal quality. - Original Message - From: Byron Stephens bstephens122...@shaw.ca To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2013 8:17 PM Subject: Re: turntables Those old style
