If it were me, I'd buy a proper turntable and the Re-equalizer, if only
because I am not sure you could select the proper stylus with the thing
playing below normal speed either.


Whilst I'd do it at the correct speed, I can't see why the stylus would be
speed dependent. Groove dependent absolutely, but playing slower should be
easier I would have thought. Might even allow it to track better.


It would be, but it's hard to listen to what is going on with the tracking
when the thing is playing at the wrong speed and with the wrong EQ.

I have occasionally recorded records at half speed in order to deal with
tracking problems, and then sped it up afterward. However, I found it
much easier to get the system set up at normal speed first.

You could do it, but it would take more time than doing it at normal speed,
and with 850 records I would think you would want to be working as fast as
possible.
