The Camden album Swing Swing Swing is definitely "swimming in fake reverb" so the 78 will sound dull in comparison. A lot of 1938 Victors sound especially claustrophobic with no studio ambience at all.

Camden classical reissues are often swimming in fake reverb. I can't speak for any of the jazz reissues.

Do you have the proper playback equalization for those 1930's 78's?
Camden was an RCA label that specialized in reissuing 78's on LP, often with fake names for a lot of the Symphony Orchestras.
Since RCA used so many different eq's in recording their stuff [some recorded in Europe] that Camden would know about, it could be equalization.

Hello everybody.

HELP!!
I have two 78's of Benny Goodman's "Bach Goes to Town" Circa 1938.
One is a US pressing and one is a UK pressing.
Both are in good condition and they both sound terrible.
I've listened to the reissue on a Camden LP.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!
I've tried many difference styli from Expert Stylus and I tried my GE VRII with a 2.5mil.
The styli are nearly new.
No luck.  How did Camden do it?!!
Can anyone suggest a stylus for my Shure M44-7 or M44-G, or Stanton 500?
I've got Shure 4.0 ET & CT, 3.5 ET & CT, 2.8 ET & CT, 3.5 FCR, and 2.7 C.
I also have a Stanton 3.3 ET.
They all sound muddy.

Any suggestions?
