KAB, Esoteric Audio, etc., or a regular multi-frequency graphic equalizer like a Pioneer SG-9. Then you would follow the charts that Tre' provided. I personally have the KAB-USA Souvenir VSP equalizer that is no longer available except on the used market. There is a MKII KAB unit that is used for 78s and LPs, but it is more expensive and no longer available from KAB.

In the end, it's just like playing 45s one at a time. It's definitely not convenient unless you transport yourself back to the 20s, 30s, and 40s and have no other options. A good record changer solves part of the problem, but the thought of a shellac record falling down to the platter always makes me nervous.
