Was the Edisonic was made to play the electrically recorded records? If the Dance come out in March 1926 to compete with the Orthophonic and the Edisonic in March 1927 only acoustic records were made at this time. So even if you go with the studio recording date of July 5 1927 the Edisonic was out for at least three months before 52089 was recorded.
It seems to me the Dance and Edisonic were ways to get more volume from the acoustic records, or am I mistaken?

Mistracking which caused distortion and "blasting" continued to be one of the biggest problems with vertical recording systems. The needle bar has the same dimensions as the older one, so there is no additional mechanical "gain" in the Edisonic design, thus it plays no louder than the earlier DD reproducers. That it may appear to play louder on some records is merely the result of less distortion from mistracking.
