Turtle Talk:

This transfer may be Turtle's best effort to date. You will hear some brief blasting noise. Turtle feared that this noise might be a digital artifact created by excessive use of noise reduction techniques. Turtle is please to report this noise exists in the source material and was not introduced by Turtle's tin ear or heavy hand....

Edison Diamond Disc 51084-R was transferred using a 3.7 mil spherical stylus in a Stanton 500 cartridge at 80 rpm. Turtle used Cool Edit and DC-ART 32 software to reduce noise and to adjust for frequency equalization differences between modern preamplifiers and acoustical recordings.
