Interesting how much more "Caruso" there is in this original recording, played acoustically, than there is in the finest transfers of the disc. Rougher at the edges, of course, but we are MUCH closer to the voice. Acoustic recordings simply sound better played acoustically; less sanitised..less processed...the voice comes out as it went in! Many thank for this hugely enjoyable posting.

Rugg stands for Ruggiero, y'know.

That's entirely correct - do not ever use old equipment on your rarities! The needle pressure is enormous, and those torture tools are the main reason why whenever one manage to find a vintage recording of Caruso, Chalapin, or the other pioneers of the recording horn, it's most likely to be completely worn out. Many vinyl-players from the 70:s can play 78 rpm records. Pick-up needles suited for wide-groove are still on the market. If you want to show a genuin Victrola, pick a disc of no value!

you need special modern diamond needles on a modern pic-up (in Europe I buy them from Pic-up experts, so do the record companies)On an old gramophone only one needle that is good is a "wooden" (thorn) needle

Then What shall I do? I have listened to this over and over with steel needles, and I don't think electrical playback is not so good. Is there any special needles that would not damage the record?

It will deteriorate a record that in sale lists for collectors goes up to 1.000 dollars |
