Thanks Francious,

Looking forward to checking out more of these and especially the cylinders as it is a field I have never really been into much.. There is a cylinder amberola this weekend at a sale about 50 miles from me. Maybe instead of the trip to Union which I can't exactly afford anyway, I may just check it out. I know some have encouraged me to attempt to come up with a diaphragm for those also.
I am working on yet another design utilizing some old and a couple new ideas I found on the groups. So far it works quite well, but doesn't have the volume and maybe a bit less overall tone. But it is the best, least distorting shellac version I have yet to make.. I hope it can be developed farther when the weather is more favorable for spending lots of time on indoor projects.

Hi Larry,
I havent' had time to diy this WE. The carbon fiber plates still haven't arrived... so I'm stuck with that... plus I'm on hollidays next week.. . so I guess You'll have to wait yet a bit more to see comparative recordings with various diaphragms, but I still have quite e few BA and GM cylinders recordings I made during the last 3 years.. I'm going to publish them as time goes by, so please stay tuned

Cheers from sunny Paris

New Soundfiles from the comparative testings I run on Larry's diaphragm and an Original Edison diaphragm.
Both were mounted on an Edison Standard Reproducer with new fine tuned Diamond Bar, Stylus & Axis.

On both reproducers, I also fine tuned the diaphragm clamping ring pressure so as to obtained as balanced and powerful as possible a sound.
Here are the files :

Hi everyone,
Please check the first post of this thread.
I've just updated it with all the diamond discs from my collection I have recorded with my Dance reproducer until now.

Enjoy :-)
Cheers from Paris
François

[larryh]

Francois.

Thanks for more great recordings. I have just seen the list and am on the way out the door, but will be sure to check them out soon. Anxious to hear how they sound.. I just got the Kinsley record of the Prelude in C Sharp Minor my self..

[French_Touch_C-19]

Hey,
New files added today!!
I've made some trials at de-noising the soundfiles.
Please check main thread and tell me what you think.
Thx

Cheers
François

[Valecnik]

Excellent Francois! If you, or any of the other members of the board, get to Prague, I'd be glad to let you have a listen to some of my diamond discs. I have about 300, mostly dance, here and play them back electrically. I've not been able to get a suitable machine across the pond yet. Cheers, Bruce

[French_Touch_C-19]

Thx a lot Bruce I should be recording more in a few months time.
I have about 200 DDs
I'd be delighted to come and visit you in Praha :-)
Kind regards from chilly Paris
François
