Edison was pretty much on top of the ball when it came to recording quality (with the exception of the noisy wartime pressings): it's a pity that the Old Man's musical prejudices, and the competition's contracts, prevented them from recording some of the really top artists. Imagine how Caruso would have sounded on Diamond Disc!
i guess because modern victrolas are more "budget" machines while this Edison is relatively higher-end I might've repeated the last part of your comment but still worth noting
I've never listened to a Schubert in person; but I suspect it would have a slight sonic advantage, with the longer horn. However, I have no complaints with my C250: it does a great job, even with electric discs - and it certainly has more storage space!
@@Lucius1958 ultimately, I think I'll be going for a B250 near me. Same as a C250, but prettier, and it even comes with an Edisonic (probably installed late in it's life)
