Actually I am not so sure. Hardware synth fetishists are distinct from vintage recording fetishists, though there is definitely a lot of crossover. Let's face it, with what this stuff costs, most people who aren't born rich are going to have to be selective.

Decisions, Decisions....

I think with a wax cylinder you may want to reconsider how much warmth you subject it to.

I have, somewhere in this house, 7 24hr wax discs used for recording a radio station's daily shows. Good old CKOX 1340 in Woodstock ON.

Line noise. Lots and lots of frustrating and mysterious line noise. :hihi:

Line noise puts hair on your chest and builds character.
