Your 78 stylus opened the door on 78s. I never knew they could sound so FANTASTIC. Looked up Stanton 500 on the web: There's a D500-3m, a D5127, and a D5130EJ: all listed on the Esoteric Sound website. It's all Spanish to the novice. Since you mention 2.7 mils, the D5127 claims to have 2.7. Is this what you would recommend? Please elaborate. Great videos, they have a classy Professor/Old school broadcaster quality...like Johnny Carson in his later years, when he was well tuned. Thanks.

@LtColumboLAPD Esoteric Sound makes custom stylus kits for the Stanton 500. The D5130EJ is a 3 mil x .5 mil eliptical which covers most '30 to '50s 78s however they want $225 for the stylus. I have been using Stanton's D5127 ($55) for years and have found that it performs well on my 78s. The different sizes that Esoteric sells is for folks who do a lot of archiving and want to eliminate surface noise on worn records.

Great recording, loved it. And the vocal also. That's a 3.0 mil 78rpm stylus, right? A Shure?

@75capriceconvertible Bill, the 78 stylus and cartridge is a Pickering AT2e with a 2.7 mil stylus. The Pickering is identical to the Stanton 500 series. I'm tracking at 5 grams. The Garrard SL-95b tonearm is very compliant and the records sound cleaner than they do on my Garrard RC98 with the identical cartridge and tracking weight.. I use the RC98 for playing 10" records automatically. The SL-95b will only play 12" 78s automatically. Both changers are connected to the Fisher 500 receiver.

@AstroSonic1967 Ah, got it... it's a Pickering I have in the Seeburg! (The dual sided cartridge) the 2.7 mil stylus must get just a tiny bit deeper in to the groove and get more music. I've got the spare headshell for my Garrard Lab Series A changer - the stereo one has a 0.7 mil stylus but the 78rpm one has a 3.0 mil one. I does all right for my needs... no doubt you've got a keener ear than I do!
