any recomendations for 78 rpm TTs?

Try esoteric sound. They manufacture inexpensive turntables with both 78 rpm speed and pitch control. http://www.esotericsound.com/

1. www.kabusa.com. The revamped Technics 1200 (phychanimal loves this table).
2. Thorens 180, 190.
3. www.kabusa.com The revamped Technics BD-22.
4. If rich, SME 30.
5. Thorens 501
6. Any tables by Esoteric Audio
7. Rega p78
9. VPI did have a upgraded SAMA that ran 78 I saw once on a HW-19 Mk. III.
10. Run a VPI with an SDS (digital LCD version)
11. Old Dual or Thorens
12. Build on new plinth for a Lenco

Need more? ;-)

Vestax is a great variable speed tt. Far better than Dual or Thorens. I use the Shure for 78s. Amaze your friends! I got it from Raskins' Needle Doctor. Superior sound when you clean and then let Last preservative seep in. The immediacy and presence, although not rich like the LP has an endearing musical quality.
