Does it play all records with the same needle or must you have a 3 mil stylus to play 78's?

Looks like Julie has tried it and it worked fine. I have owned mine for over 6 months, use it daily, and haven't had one issue with it.

I have not tried 78's on it, but it plays 45's and normal 12in with the same needle. I will try a 78 on it when I get a chance and try to answer back. Great buy for the price though.

I don't know about the stylus for sure, but the player works great for any records we've played on it.

No. It will only play the records that come with it. They are pretty much indestructable. They are designed for hard play by kids. They love it.

I didn´t tryed, but I think that is not recomended because 78s were manufactured with another material, and maybe will damage the needle that comes with the turntable. I would use 1 needle for 78s and another for 33s.

The same stylus works for 78's. The record player has two speakers (stereo I assume). Our 33s sound fine to us, but the 78s we have are home-recorded and have a lot of static--don't know how a commercial 78 would sound

New vinyl tends to skip. Whereas the the vintage does not. Don't ask me why. BUT! Just put a dime, yes the coin, on top of the needle casing and they play smooth smooth. Hope this helps!

Yes according to the manual.I don't have any 78's myself.Again this is a nice little player no great stero.But I like it for what it is.

No, it will play any vinyl. Old or new. Vinyl is vinyl. The player can't tell the difference.

I only play old vinyl records on mine. It works beautifully with a few added modern hook ups being the main difference between old player and new one.

Yes. A record player (turntable) that uses a cartridge with a stylus that generates electricity via a moving magnet (or moving coil) requires a separate pre-amp (with RIAA/NAB equalization) for the phono circuit before plugging into a line level input such as on this unit.

I wonder if anyone has found a remedy for this. MAybe a higher quality needle? I like the unit, but I want it to play records. It won't play 4 out of 5 of the ones I've tried.

Yes, I did get a couple of different stylus needles for mine, but really the one that came with the unit sounds the best. The other work, but you have to trim the plastic of the cartridge and adjust, but I managed to get both to snap in. It just snaps in, and these cartridges are flexible plastic, not completely rigid plastic. So if you have any trouble getting it to fit, it may have to be looked at carefully and then trim a tab or heat melt a tab to fit. But the original one is great. I have a 78rpm needle and the smaller 33rpm needle, but the original sounds great on both. Great is a relative term here, but it plays all the records and it's portable.

Yes, these are flip type needles that are intended to play both vinyl (33's and 45's) and 78's. As shown you are looking at the LP or Long Play for Vinyl and the other side says 78.

If it includes Audacity (Mac OSX) it does. I play the disks at 33 (stylus doesn't bouncequite as high on the old 78s) and do a (1) change speed in Audcity from 33 to 78,then (2) equalization from one of the built-in profiles.

Hello, yes you can use it like the old phonograph, I have used mine a lot since receiving it and have only used it to play records and it does that well.
