How did you get the ION TTUSB to run at 78 rpm? I have the Numark version of the same turntable and I have been wanting to play my 78s for quite a while, but as far as I know the TTUSB only plays at 33 and 45. Did you adjust the belt in some way? I saw a video a little while ago showing how to set it to 78 rpm but I can't find it on YouTube anymore.
I've been recording 78's in a similar method except I record at 45 rpm then speed it up AFTER de-clicking and hiss & noise reduction. This preserves the original integrity of the recording especially with acoustic recordings. I use Adobe Audition for software.
Much appreciated info, thanks for sharing. Just a note with your cleaning solution.. the cartridge, and headshell may not like the vinegar residue over the longer term. I'm not sure if the dry acidic remnant will have any effect at all though!
@Interests2009 I Switched to a Gemini TT-1100 in january 2010 at a total cost of $120 on ebay. and for that money i wasn;t totally satisfied as in had to re-adjust several factory settings but never was able to fix the shoddy turntable casting. But i make do with as i save up for a new professional turntable. Check out my lastest videos for my newest set -up and its results.
I biult a pre amp and bought a 1960's 78 RPM Stranton stylus amd modified it for 78 RPM compliance.
YEs, for the most part, it depends on wear and condition of the disc. At least a Needle with a 2.5 to 4.0 mil width is needed. Some argue for Elipical but i used a conical shape.
I have a Philco Turntable/CD Recorder which has the 78 speed. True, it's a low-tech tone arm, but then again, 78's are pretty low-tech themselves. This gentleman has some really involved procedures happening here, which I should, but don't have enough patience to even consider. For 33's and 45's, I play them on a direct drive Turntable with a Shure cartridge; the signal is played through my stereo amp, with RCA plugs hooked up from the amp into the CD recorder unit. Works for me...
Superb and truly informative! You've saved me many hours of trial and error. I still have to find a turntable capable of spinning at 78RPM. What do you think of Gramophones from the 30s? Will they damage my records prematurely?
at 3:00 which plugin do you use?

Hello, a question, it is necessary to reproduce discs of 78 rpm with needles of wide groove?

Ok, but if I use a needle for micro-groove and the disc is in good conditions, ¿can I obtain a good result?

If they have the original needle configuration they will damage the records. It would be best to replace it with a more modern one.

Wow. Really informative. It would have taken me months to figure out all of the extras in Audacity.
