It does a nice job -- but -- it only comes with a microgroove stylus, so I had to order on for my 78s. While I welcome a resurgence of vinyl, I hate the way it is being marketed. For example, an LP now carrying a price of $25. It gets promoted as being made of all sort of high profile vinyl etc. Prob is that super quiet 180 g heavy vinyl copy will sound like rubbish when the cat leaps off a shelf and the tone arm skates across the disc leaving a scratch. Better to find a used vinyl store and pickup a nice copy for $5. Then there is the pretentious stuff from Jack White and labels like 454545 (lathe cut). I feel that people are buying this stuff solely for the snobbish-ness of saying 'I buy vinyl'. Even the Record Store Day stuff is like that -- an example being the Beatles' Long Tall Sally EP -- which offered nothing new except a high price. What is really needed is a rebirth of the good old 45 RPM single. That would, I feel, breathe new life into both music and the record biz. Amy
