If you're using a computer, you can record in stereo (out of phase) , then using a wave editor, invert the phase of one channel, then combine for mono. I know the process - and the sound will be horrible until you combine the tracks for mono - then all the noices will miraculously disappear!!! I use the same cartridge for modern stereo and verticals - saves a lot of hassle to do it this way and you don't need a designated cartridge wired for verticals - Mickey Clark Follow me on Twitter https://twitter.com/MickeyRClark M.C.Productions Vintage Recordings 710 Westminster Ave. West Penticton BC V2A 1K8 1-250-462-7881 http://mcproductions.ca ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Roth" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, May 05, 2015 7:58 AM Subject: [ARSCLIST] Playing Edison Diamond discs > Hello everyone, > > I am transferring Edison Diamond disks. > I'm using a Shure M44-7 with a 3.5 FCR stylus from Expert Stylus. > I think I've rewired the leads properly for a hill-n-dale groove. > The turntable is a Technics Quartz SL 1200 Mk 2. > I'm using a KAB Great Sound Escort pre-amp. > Still, the sound leaves much to be desired. > > I'm having an extra hard time transferring the Liszt 2nd Hungarian > Rhapsody p/b Rachmaninoff. > Any suggestions? > > Thank you. > Ben Roth > > P.S.
