[78-L] styluses

[Francesco Martinelli]

Following the experts' recommendation on this list I have purchased an 
ellyptical stylus for a vintage shure (as recommended by DL): SC35C + SS78E. 
It's now mounted in the Dual 1219 I got very cheap and spent a fortune 
having restored, cleaned, oiled, provided of new power supply and 
strengthened in the plynth. With 78's from the 40s - for example the plum 
RCA Victor of the Turkish series I am collecting - the results are superb, 
and people cannot actually believe that the sound is coming from a 78.
However, there are acoustic records on the local Orfeon/Odeon label that I 
cannot get a sound of with that, or the Ortfon cartridge I have. I do not 
know exactly the origin of the cutting machine the Blumenthal bros. were 
using before 1920 in Istanbul, but since they were distributing german 
labels I think it would be something german.
Any recommendation about the best way of extracting sound from these 
thoughies?
thanks
Francesco
