No...most 21st century turntables offer all three speeds (it just involves a
third idler wheel to the array!). However, what they usually DON'T provide
is a second needle to play 78's with their larger grooves. I have seen a few
of these new tt's which offer 78 needles as an extra-cost option, though!
