Edison DD diaphragm
I made some new diaphragms, and would like to have someone on here test one.

Re: Edison DD diaphragm
Wow nice job! What all materials did you use to make it? Obviously cork and what else?

Phonoboy,
How did it perform for you? Looks like a nice neat job.

I think it did well, but you can be the judge.

Re: Edison DD diaphragm
It sure looks like the disc in your video is being worn by the stylus.

Re: Edison DD diaphragm
It may be, the stylus is worn. The disc was quite worn when I got it, and the reverse has a split across its radius, so I'm not to worried about it. Others would most likely have thrown it away, but I just can't bring myself to do that.Phototone wrote:It sure looks like the disc in your video is being worn by the stylus.

Ricepaper never ceases to amaze me. I have been experimenting on DD reproducers for over 15 years and rice paper always makes me happy with its *stock* sound.

It's pretty wild that all that sound can come from something as unassuming as a rice paper disk, or from mica.MicaMonster wrote:Ricepaper never ceases to amaze me. I have been experimenting on DD reproducers for over 15 years and rice paper always makes me happy with its *stock* sound.
That will forever blow my mind.
