It is LOUD on the Vic III. The only problem is that most of my good Pathé discs are in Europe.
The best Pathés are European. I can only imagine how my beloved M. Berard De L'Eldorado would sound on this. Thanks for the "horn porn".

I'm packing to leave for the Union show tomorrow otherwise I'd definitely do the video. So many phono projects, so little time...

This may be a silly question- What is the horn made of? Is it some type of reinforced plastic?

Not a dumb question at all. It's a sort of paper, cardboard compound, very light, very fragile but somehow survived very well.

I was to understand that Linenoid horns were made from linen, no?

HMV you may very well be right. I assumed it was a paper compound as used to make the Vic 6 horn and others because it looks the same and has similar properties. Maybe someone else can confirm?

Fabrizio and Paul's Antique Phonograph Gadgets, Gizmos & Gimmicks lists the "Linenoid" horns as being part of a group of compressed paper or "fibre" horns. See the last paragraph on page 13. However, a note with an illustration of one (I-29, page 20) suggests that the manufacturer claimed they were made of "pure linen." So I guess the "fibre" used might have been linen.
