William----I trust you were not insulted or offended by my reply to you concerning the cylinders you purchased on your trip to Brimfield. All I was trying to tell you was, I CAN appreciate the pain you are going through with the loss of Jennifer----who you dearly loved, still do to this moment, and always will until you meet again----but just try to enjoy the rest of your life to the fullest. The "faces" you chose at the beginning of your reply, led me to believe you were angry at me. I hold you, William, and Granite State Bill with the utmost respect. Michael

Hi William.
What model reproducer are you using on the 2 min. cylinders? (Looks like a pretty good haul.)
Martin

I am currently Useing a Model H mabe made in India but purchased a good one but needs top for the model h it has a good needle

[martin1]

Ah. That may account for much of the sonic problem you're having with the 2 minute wax records. (The other things would be wear and mold on the records themselves.) The 4 minute stylus is much smaller than the 2 minute stylus. It's very hard to see, but the Model H stylus is is ground to a disc and the edge of the disc is what meets the groove. The 2 minute Model C reproducer has a doorknob shaped stylus that fills up the much wider groove and will transmit much more of the signal to the diaphragm.

In my experience, a good 2 minute wax record can be an excellent thing to hear. I would be careful of playing a 2 minute wax recording with the Model H because I'd be worried that it would damage (cut) the grooves. The label on the lid of my Standard D warns never to mix up the reproducers. (It may not be as dire as that, but I like to be cautious.) Certainly the Diamond model C reproducer on the Amberola will kill a wax record of any kind in nothing flat.

I'd really recommend getting a good Model C reproducer and a couple of clean two minute records. I think you'll be blown away by the quality. Blessings and greetings to you from out here in California!
