His Masters Voice

[vlb52]

Modern music stinks

[shoprat17]

Ya, the needles actually do wear out after about 1-2 plays. I have heard something about you can substitute the needle with a cactus needle, however I'm not suggesting it...

[gramophoneworld]

It is a good collection I like it. I have a good collection of Gramophone and record player, am a mechanic of the gramophones If you r interested please contact me my mobile no +919995017065

[jellybones423]

do new records work on gramophones??

[monty78pig]

@jellybones423 No, the grooves are not wide enough and vinyl is too soft, that steel needle will go right through!

[marcvie9]

@monty78pig how hard does the needle pushes on the record? I want to know because it is so hard that you have to change it everytime you play a record!

[ZEMDOKU]

cool

[ox141jf]

amazing how loud they are, but imagine playing an old record on an amplified modern player, it would be massively loud because its designed for smaller grooves unlike the oldies that had big grooves i imagine.

[PJBGORDON]

@ox141jf

How can it be "massively loud" when an amplified modern player has a volume control? Wonderful results can be obtained from 78s on sympathetic equipment capable of using the necessary equalisation used by various manufacturers.

[ilovefluffysheep]

@shieldsguy Don't use one of these they'll destroy your shellac records (especially later ones). Buy a proper setup with a turntable that can do 78 rpm, a decent cartridge such as a shure SM78 and a flat level pre-amp. Steel needles will ruin your collection.

[PJBGORDON]

@monty78pig

Sorry, but steel needles do not themselves ruin 78s. Badly-adjusted (or indifferently made) gramophones and not changing the needle each side are the offenders. I have been collecting gramophones and 78s for well over 40 years and have NEVER worn out a record by playing it acoustically. Contrary to popular belief, it is the record that wears the needle, which when worn and not changed can damage the groove. Never use a loud tone needle and use the best gramophones.

[EmmetEarwax]

I always use a modern stereo to play my old 78rp shellacs.

[EmmetEarwax]

So play them on a modern stereo - they'll sound great ! And the light tone-arm, the record will appreciate.

By the way, "His Master's Voice" was the dog listening to a recording of his DEAD master, who was lying in a closed coffin. The dog and the phonograph were both perched on the coffin llid ! Somebody said that the theme was macabre, so the coffin was left out of the final design.

[SuperTailss]

Beutifull

[itgirl1982]

That is really something! Vintage phonographs are a thing of beauty!

[mikeferr107]

Cool record. Great looking player that works well. Thanks for the video.

[Afro70s]

Oh man, those thirties!

[delcoronado15]

Ah! The Art-Deco detailing is BREATHTAKING on this machine! I positively love gramophones. I have...a 1920's HMV portable, and I love it to pieces. Not literally of course...heh heh.

[InsulaBarataria]
