I can't believe that this record can sound this clean. Awesome, by the way did you use any digitalization thru'computer softwares? thanks for posting!!!Love it.

Thanks. No I'm not post processing it. I have a ATI TV tuner card and I captured the video from the camera with the ATI software. The audio is also going straight from the preamp to the sound card, an EMU 1820. It lets you mix the input, so I added a microphone on the desk to capture the turntable mechanical sounds, like pushing the start/stop lever.

I think it's the Fisher 400 preamp with it's 78 position and the cartridge that sounds good. I can't make anything else I have sound that good.

That 78 Sounds Extremely Great,Probably The Best I Ever Heard.What Year Is The Phonograph From?

[n7ksi]

I don't know exactly. Buy I found out the started making them in 1950. It also has a Pickering cartridge I haven't been able to identify yet.

Thanks

Is The Cartridge In It Magnetic Or Crystal?

[n7ksi]

It's magnetic. It came with 2 and the other had a worn needle so I opened it up. It was packed in grease, I guess for damping. At first I though it was ceramic but after cleaning it, what I first thought was a ceramic disk, was a coil rapped up in tape.

That's why this on this video, you'll notice it distorts on the peaks. I have a ceramic input on my preamp and I guess it was over driving it.

[n7ksi]

vinylman86 pointed out that it sounded to good for a ceramic and that's why I dug in to the other one.

I set it up for magnetic and the distortion was gone.

That's what the follow up video was for. To shows the difference after the change.

@n7ksi Thanks for this superb tune & view of your phono. The sound quality is indeed impressive!! I'm going to start using a similar phono & 78's for some of the silent 16mm films I show at my little cinema.

I always get a kick out of it when someone not familiar with this old gear (and not to mention the period recordings) are amazed with the audio quality! I've been involved with audio since the mid 60's, and discovered jewels like your changer and recordings from the 30's and 40's when still a kid. I've got this same record, and I get a sound of it just a hint better on my Technics SP15. I love old Rek-O-Kuts, Garrards, and GE VR carts! Great Example! More please! Cheers!

The flip side of "And The Angel's Sing". Like many flip sides, it's not worn. Nice sound you're getting.
