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...

Rega makes a 78 version of the P2/P3. Or, perhaps you could simply change the pulley on a regular P2 or P3, but I don't know for sure. I recall a few threads on this topic a while back- check the archives.

Regarding transient noise reduction, Burwen made the best by far (TNE7000), but the most common is the SAE which is a fairly good unit.

There is also a couple of threads on cartridges for 78, which should be in the archives.

Jim

Check Ebay. Just saw a Rega 78rpm player there. Good Luck, Dave
