Re: 78 RPM Turntable

I haven't noticed - is the equalization curve identified somewhere? I have in my hand one of the records, a Victor Red Seal Record from an album with Stokowski conducting the NBC Symphony (which should date the recording pretty well) in Stravinsky's Firebird Suite. I don't see anything that looks like an equalization curve ID - most of the print apart from the obvious info about the music and the performers has to do with patent protection warnings (no copyright notices, however, even on the album art).

I had one of those Garrard changers/turntables (the changer spindle was interchangeable with a short single play one) and a flip-over cartridge. Unfortunately, I wasn't foresighted enough to hold onto it. As I said in my original post, I have two newer turntables - a Denon and a Sony - in the house, which I use occasionally to play LPs, but they don't have a 78 RPM speed, only 45 and 33-1/3.

I'm learning some interesting things about 78s from this thread, and I've been reminded of things about turntables in general that I once knew and had forgotten. Thanks, everyone.
