As for my Emerson, Lake and Palmer, I don't think it stood the test of time too well. They were one of my faves, and I saw them in concert 3 or 4 times, but putting on the old records made me wonder, what did I see in this music. Great musicians, but the music is pretty overblown.

I wish I had "Frampton Comes Alive!"]]>Oct 26th 2010 8:07AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/10/25/the-best-turntables-under-400-vinyl/http://www.switched.com/2010/10/25/the-best-turntables-under-400-vinyl/Oct 26th 2010 9:53AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/10/25/the-best-turntables-under-400-vinyl/http://www.switched.com/2010/10/25/the-best-turntables-under-400-vinyl/Oct 26th 2010 12:37PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/10/25/the-best-turntables-under-400-vinyl/http://www.switched.com/2010/10/25/the-best-turntables-under-400-vinyl/Oct 26th 2010 1:04PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/10/25/the-best-turntables-under-400-vinyl/http://www.switched.com/2010/10/25/the-best-turntables-under-400-vinyl/the stanton turntable listed above plays 78rpm discs. if you're digitizing your collection of 78's you don't necessarily need a player that runs at 78rpm speed since the speed can be corrected digitally with the software (audacity even has a 33-78 and 45-78 pitch control setting).

one major point to be aware of is those old 78's have grooves about 8 times larger than 45 or 33 rpm "microgroove" records, so to avoid damaging your good stereo stylus you should use a stylus specially designed for 78rpm records, such as the shure N78S or stanton D6827. ]]>Oct 26th 2010 11:24PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/10/25/the-best-turntables-under-400-vinyl/http://www.switched.com/2010/10/25/the-best-turntables-under-400-vinyl/
Is there a market for these?

They track and list used record prices...you'd be amazed.]]>Oct 27th 2010 6:15PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/10/25/the-best-turntables-under-400-vinyl/http://www.switched.com/2010/10/25/the-best-turntables-under-400-vinyl/Oct 26th 2010 7:23PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/10/25/the-best-turntables-under-400-vinyl/http://www.switched.com/2010/10/25/the-best-turntables-under-400-vinyl/
Most of these record club records are not as good as the real originals.]]>Oct 27th 2010 6:12PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/10/25/the-best-turntables-under-400-vinyl/http://www.switched.com/2010/10/25/the-best-turntables-under-400-vinyl/Oct 27th 2010 5:18AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/10/25/the-best-turntables-under-400-vinyl/http://www.switched.com/2010/10/25/the-best-turntables-under-400-vinyl/Oct 27th 2010 6:37PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/10/25/the-best-turntables-under-400-vinyl/http://www.switched.com/2010/10/25/the-best-turntables-under-400-vinyl/Oct 27th 2010 5:24AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/10/25/the-best-turntables-under-400-vinyl/http://www.switched.com/2010/10/25/the-best-turntables-under-400-vinyl/

While you're there, check out the vacuum machines. I have produced two vinyl related DVDs: the one on setting up a turntable is really useful! You can find it on that site and elsewhere.]]>Oct 27th 2010 6:11PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/10/25/the-best-turntables-under-400-vinyl/http://www.switched.com/2010/10/25/the-best-turntables-under-400-vinyl/All playback equipment that can deal with Turntable in put has a reverse of the RIAA response curve to damp down the highs and boost the lows, thus returning the signal to produce a nominally flat reproduction of what went down in the studio. This is done (somewhat like Dolby) to allow for a really strong high-frequency-rich recording to be then reduced (along with dust noise and scratches) to a manageable level, and boosting up the under-recorded bass end (where the ear is much less able to distingish surface noises). It also stopped the playback needle from jumping out of the groove where low frequencies in the recording would have caused the needle excessive travel.

It would have been important to include this little fact in the article. Those USB-connected turntables already do this, as do those that can be plugged straight into a line-level input (like tape play or aux) on a receiver.]]>Nov 15th 2010 10:15PM
