    Hi folks,

    do you guys sell a turntable capable of playing 45's and 78's? I've seen some of the players mention 78 but when I looked into it I think I may need to buy a separate cartridge and/or belt.  I'm also considering the B&W 606's, seem's an OK price given the model has just been replaced by the anniversary edition

    Thanks

    Hi Sjkrom.

    Thanks for the post.

    There are a few that will do 78's.

    Audio Technica LP120XUSB priced at 239 Euro

    You may will still require a 78 cartridge for them to play correctly.
    The Platter speed which the LP120XUSB can do is only half the battle.

    Most other turntables are only designed for 33/45.

    For Project Turntable you have to purchase a 78 adaptor kit and stylus.

    The current deal on the 606 standard version at £399 down from £599 is very good indeed. Plenty of stock on these :)

    Let me know your thoughts.

    Thanks for the info!

    I do prefer the plainer look of the Audio Technica LP5x, Any combo deals EUR for both the 606 and the turntable?

    Thanks again
