In Reply to: Any inexpensive stage for playing 78's? posted by bjh on January 29, 2015 at 12:15:08:
I've tried several options for 78 playback, including the Re-Equalizer. That unit is convenient, but adds phase distortion and noise. The best inexpensive option is to build the JE-Labs mono preamp (see link). I get terrific results with this unit, fed by a series-wired Stanton 500 w/2.7 mil stylus. Just bump up load resistor to 100K to compensate for the rewiring. I find this gives better results than simple L-R summing. Turntable is a new Stanton ST-150 (using just one channel.)
Surface noise on clean records is almost non-existent; dynamics and frequency response are amazing!
