I would like to add to that. Great work! I found these models fascinating and professional especially The Lumiere Attachments.

It was also very helpful being able to compare the same recording being played by The Lumiere Attachment and The Meltrope Style Backplate No. 4. The Lumiere Attachment sounded better than a few originals I have heard but that may be because the originals had damage.

Many thanks indeed for your kind words :)

@Jamie: the Lumiere attachment had a surprisingly good bass response, but the volume was a fair bit lower than my original Lumiere (YouTube videos can be deceiving!). Both this one and the original like being driven hard, so the fatter the needle the better the sound (I use extra loud on both). More tinkering needed!
