Well, that's an intriguing statement! Can you please elaborate, George?
For volume and for tone, it was quite outstanding. (I should add, however, that my bombastic statement does NOT include Orthophonic Victrolas!) I sold that Mignonette in 2010, but the memories of the comparisons I did are vivid. Had I been a customer in 1914, I'd have preferred the Grafonola over a VV-XI.
