I have a JVC JL-F50 with an DL-110 cartridge...Satisfied with it...
Primary use is digitizing LP's into CD's...I do LOT of it...convert entire LP collections...Retirement hobby...
Client has about 3-400 78 RPM records he wants me to convert...My JVC is only 33/45...so I need a 78 RPM turntable and cartridge suitable for 78 RPM...
I found a Stanton STR8-80 which plays all 3 speeds and a variable speed adjustment because many older 78 RPM records were not recorded at 78 rpm...
with an extra head so I thought I would get it...drop my DL-110 cart on one head and some suitable cart for 78 rpm on the other head...get rid of my JVC...
Reading up on the Stanton...the short 8" tonearm is a concern...tracking...excessive wear on the grooves...etc...
So...since I really don't have space for a 2ed TT...I am looking for a decent quality 3 speed TT...direct drive...
At least as good as my JVC...that I can replace the head to accomodate a couple of cartridges...
Any suggestions...budget around $250 or so...
Thanks for you help...
