Re: arsclist Playback equipment for phonograph records

[Graham Newton <gn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would caution you on the ELT, simply because if you want to cover a wide
variety of disc types and composition, the ELT is not the one to do it.

Gilles St. Laurent at Canada's National Library in Ottawa would be pleased
elaborate, since they have one and found that it was a nice idea, but there
are many problems that have not been addressed.
