Thank you so much for the information! My hunt begins for a good reproducer then. I only paid 200 for the whole player and it looks and works great.

Hey there everyone!! Been QUITE a while since I've been on the forum... I recently got a edison S-19 player, it's almost immaculate. I'm unfamiliar with the diamond disc players however.

Looking for a nice player to play my 78s on and 45s actually too. I don't want to play my 78s on my wind up acoustic gramophones for fear of damaging records.
