Re: [Phono-L] Edison studio recorder
Wow! Where did you find a Studio Recorder? The sound quality is quite impressive. And as usual, your Uncle Josh is uncanny.

Nice find Shawn.

This recorder uses an advance ball, and floats on the blank. The more true the blanks are the better your recording, as any variations can cause the stylus to dig deep in spots, and not in others. I will be excited to do some live recording with it, would love to get some musicians together and cut some masters for moulded release. It seems the existing Edison studio heads, are all missing something, weather it is the diaphragm or cutting stylus. I will post more vids, of the new carriage in action. http://youtu.be/jtAJNo-YhSE http://youtu.be/MpVHs5nTa_k http://youtu.be/tipCmvpuaaE ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
