One of the Edison DD electrically recorded releases!

It sounds excellent to my ears--no peaking, the upper registers are crisp, and the mid-range is strong. It's lacking in bass output, but I attribute that to the horn. (I'm wondering what this reproducer would sound like on one of the Edisonic models?)

Sounds like you're doing a great job!

I don't think my diaphragm would work on an Edisonic. Didn't they use a thicker diaphragm?
Thanks.

I was thinking more in terms of attaching your reproducer to an Edisonic model. If memory serves me right, the Edisonic reproducers were sold as a separate item to upgrade the older phonographs, so I believe that the older style reproducers should fit the "tonearm" of an Edisonic machine. (I might be wrong about this since I've never owned an Edison DD phonograph.)

In any event, you're making real progress with your diaphragms!
