I have found Grado products to be quite competent and an excellent value-for-money. Lyle Cartridges: P.O. Box 158 Valley Stream, New York 11582 USA has a good selection of cartridges and styli of all types and brands. I have been very happy with their service. I have a stack of 78s at home, and have always resigned myself to playing them on my old Radio Shack all-in-one system to avoid damage to my real system. The platters are scratchy, noisy, heavy... I'd imagine that the noise inherent in playing them would not be great on the old speakers. And I'd imagine that I'd need a whole separate *cartridge* to play them so the cartridge I use on my Lps doesn't get beat to heck. Am I right or wrong? Is it generally safe for your equipment to play 78s? jim grey jwg@acd4.acd.com
