I have over 10,000 78's and enjoy giving them a spin. I use both a Technics SP-15 and a KAB modified SL-1200MK5. Stanton 500 cartridge with appropriate stylus and a KAB Souvenir EQS-MK12 variable EQ phono preamp with signal summed to mono.
Prior to the advent of tape following WW II, all 78's were cut Direct-To-Disc, in essence live recordings in studio without any sort of overdubs or multi-tracking. Because of this recording technique, these records have a direct and immediate sound to them, quite appealing despite limitations of shellac pressings and mono sound. And of course the music of this bygone era can be wonderful.
A few recent spins:
