Nice, Peter. I enjoyed that very much. I've never owned a Credenza, but I've heard a friend's many times. My DD player is a BC-34, and I think Peter's right on the money. The Edison sound is more like an audiophile system, say Thiel 7.2's with Musical Fidelity kW amps and a nice tube pre-amp, Cary or conrad-johnson for example, playing back a Telarc SACD or a nice MFSL pressing on a VPI TNT with a Lyra Titan cartridge, while the Credenza is more like a good CD played back through active studio monitors or an upscale PA system (Claire Brothers, Prism, maybe even EAW 850's with Crown MacroTech amps). If you want slam, Credenza. If you want the performers in the room with you, Edisonic.
All that said, I sure wish I still had my Brunkswick Ultona. -Robert ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: "Antique Phonograph List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 11, 2006 4:43 PM Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Best sounding Phonograph > gee, when i read this, i remembered a little thing i wrote about 15 years > ago. googled around and guess what, it's still out there on the web! > > http://www.shellac.org/wams/wpete08.html > > bob waltrip was the guy who told me the phrase about the DD sound > following you down the hall. my, time flies. > > -- peter > [email protected] > > Andrew Baron wrote: > > When I place a late, paper label DD record with a bold vocal track on > > my A-250, at the moment the voice begins, my dog launches into barking > > the same as if someone's just come to the house.
