This is the most pointless thing in the world. If you are going to electrically amplify a record, use a modern cartridge compatible with a phono or line-in on a modern stereo. These things still have very heavy tonearms measured in ounces and not single digit grams.
@@tarstarkusz Do you realize that old records were optimized fo distortion of old pickups and old pickups for distortion of old records? "Compatibility" is mostly only about impedance, and that could be matched ether by signal transformer or by amplifier with specially designed input part. But impedance should not be an issue as long as the amplifier has enough gain and low distortion itself. One big issue with using modern day phono amp is that they are designed for RIAA curve, so running signal from this through guitar amp that is designed to be just amplifying and not correcting anything is better option. The pickups in electric guitars and this "reproducer" are virtually the same.
@@MrToradragon I'm pretty sure electrically recorded 78s have the RIAA curve applied to them. If you are going to use an electric horseshoe reproducer like the one in this video, it really should be rebuilt or it may damage the record. All the compliance will be gone even if the coils are good.
