I will have to agree with Greg on the Newcomb school phonograph. This has a ceramic cartridge, however, but still sounds great, and the proper stylus for LP and 78 rpm records, We have one of them. The one we have is tube, although later on they were transistor, I prefer the sound of the tube one, they do not have the edgieness that the transistor ones have coupled with the ceramic, and even sound to me as good as a magnetic on transistor amplification. You can go out of the headphone jacks on these and go right into your computer, and transcribe 78 s, with remarkable fidelity, they are a good bang for the buck. These days I use a Dual turn table with Shure 78S cartridge, going into a Harmon Kardon tube pre. When I am feeling really vintage, I hook my Western Electric/RCA Audiometer to a set of 01a tubes, to the aux in on my HK. The WE/RCA cartridge is the same kind you can record on the RCA grooved recording discs. _________________________________________________________________ Get 5 GB of storage with Windows Live Hotmail. http://windowslive.com/Explore/Hotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_hotmail_acq_5gb_112008
