I played back 78s, years ago on a Garrard Zero 92. Used a Shure or Pickering cartridge with a 78 stylus. I shorted out the Stereo signal to lower surface noise. They sounded pretty good. Columbia 78s from the Teens were recorded at 80 RPMs. Dubbed those to cassette and played on a deck with a pitch control. A Zero 100 would have been better because it has a pitch control, but I used what I got.

Trivia: the first Million selling record was, "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny" by Alma Gluck, and I had a copy in the "70s...
