Last month, I bought a Stanton T.92 turntable, a direct drive TT with quartz lock which plays 78s. It has standard analog outputs (which I use), but also has an internal preamp with line level output, will connect to your computer via USB or to a SPDIF (coaxial digital) input.

I bought a few spare headshells, and have installed in one a Stanton 500AL cartridge with D5127 78 stylus, and have spent quite a bit of time transferring 78s to the computer, and restoring them in Adobe Audition 3. The results have been stellar. So you could use any cartridge with any type of 78 styli of different sizes for different groove widths.

The turntable lists at $455 US, but can be bought for $300. I believe they also make an international version for 50 Hz/220 V.
