Can you imagine playing your 78s at only 1.5 grams tracking pressure! This needle will allow you to copy your 78s into your computer while playing your modern turntable at 45rpm.

It of course can also be used for regular playback enjoyment as well.This needle can substitute for any needle and be used in any cartridge listed below.
