  • Comment There is some strange sounding intermodulation distortion at 1:40 and 3:33. Is this likely from the original, or an artifact of audio restoration? I do not hear such odd difference tones or whatever on my Caruso 78's, whether duets or quartets. Nice vocal performances and low noise level for a circa-1918 78.

That's original, I'm afraid, though I can't say whether it's from the cylinder or the transfer. In any case, neither is fixable. Unfortunately - as I'm sure you'll understand - We don't have the resources to commission transfers of dozens of cylinders and intercut them in order to make one commercial recording. I'm one person, and do this from my house, with the few free-to-use transfers I can find. =) Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 00:29, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Caruso would have been on a 78 disc, not a cylinder, right? And I do not hear that artifact on my Caruso 78'S. (Nor my cylinders, for that matter). Edison (talk) 05:26, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Of course you're right: It was Caruso and other big stars' presence on 78s that was in a big proportion responsible for killing cylinders, and I knew that. *shakes head* It's probably an issue of transfer, then - sudden loudness overwhatsiting the mike - but unless someone's able to get me a new transfer of this recording, I don't think anything can be done. Forgive me, I've come down a little ill and am not thinking entirely straight, not helped that it's been at least a quarter of a year since I did this cleanup =) Sadly, cleanups are, to my knowledge, copyrightable, so we can't just tae someone else's .Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 05:40, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
