Outstanding record and the Figure 6 sounds amazing. I downloaded the file so I can add it to my collection of digital Diamond Disk foxtrots. Thanks for posting this.

As an owner of the Diamond Disc and hundreds of selections (many NOS), I can say that I have heard many of the diaphragms for these machines. Back in 1993, I had a reproducer rebuilt by the late Mr. Waltrip with an Expert Stylus, wow did it sound amazing compared to the old Edison Diaphragm. Then I had rebuilt one of my reproducers with the Sitko diaphragm which looks comparable to the original and sounded great. But in 2016, I had one of my reproducers rebuilt by a gentleman in Florida and he rebuilt using the the Bruce Diamond Stylus and the Truetone Diaphragm, I thought that was an improvement.

Fast forward to 2022, and after hearing the sample on You Tube, of the Figure 6 diaphragm, I do not hear any scratch or surface noise. I will definitely finding a spare Diamond Disc reproducer and having it rebuilt by Wyatt with the Figure 6 diaphragm and a new stylus.

Things keep getting better and better!

Wyatt made a Figure 6 diaphragm for one of my EMG soundboxes - it is a great performer.
