Whats a good high quality 78 speed table????


I'm interested in purchasing a table to restore 78 records without spending too much money. I'm considering a Dual 1229 or Music hall 5 used and for the right price. As far as cartridges go I heard Grado makes a good 78 mono cartridge. Any Good table and cartridge combos. Also what is the best transient noise reduction that is common in the used market.I'm on a limited budget...

Modded Technics 1200 from KAB Electroacoustics. You can buy one new (w/ warranty) or send a 1200 for modding. Kevin also sells several other 78 RPM playing TTs and is most knowledgeable in old recordings. He also sells preamps w/ different EQ settings for transcribing purposes (www.kabusa.com).

I know member Zaikesman has one of those KAB 78RPM 1200's and is very pleased both for 78s and as a high end TT. I think he uses a Benz Micro for 33 & 45's.
