[78-L] Heifetz

[Howard Friedman]

Dave, you wrote

If they're playing the record pictured, (and there's no reason why they wouldn't be), it's not acoustic. It would sound acoustic because it's being played on an acoustic gramophone.

The record Victor 6159-A is a transcript of Heifetz's December 1917 acoustic recording, original number Vic 74750.  But why ruin a perfectly good record by subjecting it to 30 or more grams of needle pressure?  It wouldn't sound any less acoustic with a modern light weight arm!  Once acoustic, ALWAYS acoustic!

Incidentally, you might want to read the reviews on this website, particularly the third one down.
