<div>I didn't buy a special turntable -- I use my regular turntable hooked to a pre-amp that hooks directly to my PC's sound card. It works fine for my purposes, but I'm not an audiophile. Ted is and knows far more about this stuff than I could ever hope to understand, but I do agree with him about MP3 format. YMMV.<br clear="none">
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For me, the huge problem is finding the time to convert our extensive LP collection to digital format. It's a real time process, and even with no post-recording processing, it still takes a lot of time. I only managed to find time to convert a handful of LPs before needing to move on to other projects. <sigh><br clear="none">

<div>Obviously, you need a turntable that plays 78 rpm, with the appropriate cartridge and phono stage, which can be complicated with different RIAA curves, etc. If the 78 is mono, it might be best to use a mono cartridge. Once you have an analog signal to digitize, the process is the same as for 33 or 45 rpm... obviously,...though why employ the dreadful MP3 codec, when modern digital recording and data storage renders much higher resolution digital audio formats very easy and cheap?<br clear="none">
