I think his equipment is much less harsh than you think. I have this on LP and this recording on original equipment has much more presence and is more realistic than the LP transfer. Thanks again Merrihew, my friend.
Indeed it is (see my posting of In Defense of an Orthophonic). The improved "presence" I think is due to my room acoustics. Similar machines owned by friends don't sound as good. In most cases the orthophonic sounds more natural than LP/CD reissues. Although a sound engineer claims that the "improvement" is due to distortion caused by the phonograph horn
@nodrog71 It's actually the record doing the eating.78's had an abrasive content which shaped the needle to the groove during the playing process.This is why, with early gramophones,you had to change the needle each time you played a record.

if he wasnt better then i think primrose didnt show off his skills as much as he needed to. and im not saying recording paganini caprices makes you better. but i was refering to paganini in terms
you know im just confused why. i know he had the skills to play all of them, smae as heifetz. but why didn't he recorded and why didn't heifetz record them. it would have been a great cd. that comment sounded to harsh sorry. excuse me.
You do know who William Primrose is right? and you do know that one of our greatest concertos (the Bartok) was written for him right? and that there was a reason for that... right?
Greate! I love the old recordings. No funny things done with sound or cuts. Thanks!

Oh my god does it hurt to see a disc like that being played on an old record eater like that.

since when is the number of paganini caprices a person has recorded an indicator of who's the best?
