I inherited a fairly large vinyl collection from my father. Around 600, mostly classical with issue dates from 1953 to 1982 still in great condition except for most having brittle paper sleeves. I was going through them and found a large book that looks like an old photo album, but it contains a bunch of 78 rpm shellac records in individual sleeves with issue dates in the 1940s. These 78s were probably my grandfathers.
I have a Fluance turntable with an Ortofon Blue cartridge that doesn't have a setting for 78 rpm and I understand that a different type of cartridge is needed.
What would be a good option to listen to the 78 rpm records? I don't think I will like the music, but feel the need to give them a listen at least once.
