The most difficult thing I've digitised were a selection of 6" Berliner discs, not least of which because the speeds were frequently anything but 78rpm. This is where my Portogram record player became invaluable as it is fitted with a GL72.

A mate did the noise reduction for me and did some spectral editing too; he makes excellent stereo conversions of mono discs using this process. His YT channel is below:
