Be careful what you wish for: you might get it! TNT-Audio just published my latest article, which includes a link to a video I put together of my Edison Triumph B, the Pathé, and my Victor V each playing a record by the same artist. About 9 minutes. Here you go: https://www.tnt-audio.com/vintage/copucornia_e.html

Apologies for, uh, tooting my own horn(s)....

Very nice article and video. Thanks for sending the link.

I don't know what is better. The Triumph sounds beautifully. The pathé seems stronger and louder, but with noticeable higher treble register. I always marvel at the sound of these pathé records... The Victor has noticeable less bass than the other two. It sounds clear and crisp, but the sound comes out kind of 'bottled', less open than the other two. I would put it the lower in my rank.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful experiment! Very enjoyable!
The longer horns favour a mellower tone, with more bass... Just my 2c...

Thanks, MTPhono and Inigo!
