Re: [ARSCLIST] NY Times: Researchers Play Tune Recorded before Edison

[David Lennick <dlennick@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are some incredible sounding Diamond Discs, particularly the ones made 
with a gigantic horn..amazing bass on a few piano recordings. And while we're 
on the subject, OKeh made better sounding records than Victor many times, and 
Columbia and Brunswick achieved amazing results in 1923 and 1924. Victor itself 
was capable of making better recordings than it could hear in the playbacks. 
Check out the very first Stokowski discs..there's bass in them, but the 
engineers couldn't hear it so double basses and low drums were eliminated from 
future orchestral recordings (including the first electricals).
