Sound not bad, but why play such a latter day 78

on a phonograph obviously designed for acoustical

earlier recordings, which would match it better? 78's

of the late 40's and after were equalized more for electric pickups.

Wow, that is awsome

Nice 103! Mahogany? I've got the 109, which is the same horn etc, but in a slightly bigger cabinet. They sound great for their size. How does the HMV compare with a victor of the same size?

I used to have a Victor VV-VI and this HMV blew it away. That was at the start of my hobby though, so in all fairness maybe the reproducer needed a rebuild. :-) Also, I don't know my woods... but thanks, Shane!

i have a 103 too, theyre amazing things aren't they?

[Phonophan79]

Yes, it sits in the room as pictured... I use it all the time. Sounds great.

[OhYouNastyMan]

Yeah, i use mine a lot too. They're incredibly resilient and the sound is amazing considering the age. I've heard later models with poorer sound quality than mine.

[Phonophan79]

Got this record off eBay. The listing was mispelled "Desi Arnez" so I may be lucky that kept the price down. :-)
