That's true... The Edison C250 horn sounds very good. The Brunswick Cortez spruce horn is also highly praised. I'm curious about the real sound of these German Gramophones. It's a fact that Germans are music lovers, and the myriads of Gramophones of this type that have survived mean that there were many of them sold... So the sound must be good, despite the appearance of those small horns.
And I also share the feeling of being enthusiastical about each one of the machines I own. My plans are listen to and take care of each one as if it was unique... Only that from time to time you change your 'preferred' machine. But all them in the end must be carefully restored, treated to give its best possible sound, and used frequently.
I own 12 machines, and basically have no plans to increase, except for a long dear dream, which is to build a machine of my own, with a huge exponential horn. Five of them are at its best possible performance, and the other seven are mostly working, but all in need of some kind of work. Until I get them all at their best, still out is a long way...
