[78-L] DD metal parts

[David Weiner]

Aren't some of the Diamond Cut Edison CDs from metal, or are they all from
test pressings?

I was just curious to hear a DD Xfer from a metal part, or for that 
matter, any acoustical from metal. I've heard plenty electricals and 
knowe they can sound great, I've just never encountered an acoustic yet. 
I would like to hear the recorded sound quality where surface noise is 
not an issue.

recommendations? Anything available on the net?
