 I can finally listen to these old 78's! May 15, 2007

Having bought the Audio Technics AT-Pl120 turntable that has the 78 rpm speed, I needed a cartridge to be able to play them. (SIDE NOTE: the instructions for the TT DO NOT mention that you need two cartridges-1 for the 33s and 45s, and 1 for 78s, so please don't ruin your needle by playing 78s!)
The M78S is well made, as you'd expect anything from Shure. It tracks well, and aside from some very scratched records, didn't skip at all. I bought a separate tonearm for the M78S, to make the switch from LPs to 78s faster. (I got it off eBay for about $15.)
All in all, I'd recommend the M78S to anyone. Now get out there and play those records!
A great cartridge for the old 78s! January 5, 2007

A friend recently gave up his fathers old 78s which had gems from Caruso to Spike Jones. It was quite a find but who has equipment to play this stuff any more?...and who wants to get up every 4 minutes to turn it over? Well call me a masochist but I decided to give the old treasures a spin. I bought an old Thorens turntable on eBay with a great SME tone arm. It plays all speeds including 16 rpm...that was used sometimes by braodcasters... The next thing I did was search for a cartridge.
I was surprised to see a good number available and still being made today. Some were quite expensive but I reasoned how much better could they be to justify the price since old 78s are rarely or never! noise free. Shure has always made cartridges of high quality in a good price range. So I chose the M78S.
It is very compliant and seems to glide through the grooves with ease and stability. It works very well with my SME 3009 SII tonearm. The results were well worth the modest cost for the cartridge. I would highly reccomend this cartridge to anyone who wants to give those oldies a spin. You will hear them better than ever!
 What's goin on? November 22, 2006

Well, problem is it's not a truly mono cartdrige.
It is a stereo one bridged for mono, so, what's going on Shure?
I wanted to buy this one because it states that is a mono one; I already have an M44 bridged and I tough that this one had only one coil, but...it's almost the same with the wires for the bridge, I'm very confused
