i think maybe the easiest cheapest thing to do is buy one of those cheapo crosley retro things for a hundred bucks. one with a 78 speed. and just use it for 78s.

Regas are cool looking. That whole high-end audiophile world is so foreign to me.

oh but yeah the numark thing would work to. and would sound better. so yeah that would be best probably.

i love my rega and i have the cheapest one. they are built for simpletons like me who like good sound. had it for 6 years or so and never had a problem. reminds me i need to order a needle...

the crosleys look good but he probably wants something to hook to a receiver and not w/ self contained speakers

is this the Numark? I'll probably recommend he gets this for 78s and something better for his regular stereo.
