Thanks everyone for you feedback. I plan on buying a book soon on all this stuff but all my extra money is going to buying cylinders. Got one in the mail today it is BA 23145.pat.6 23000 is the British series(thanks Steve) The star of Bethleham by H. Williamson. I would have to say this is the most wonderful sound I've heard coming from my Amberola to date. This cylinder must be close to mint I can't hear a tick or a pop on it. Anyone know what the H stands or anything about this singer because he sent chills up my spine. _________________________________________________________________ Play Q6 for your chance to WIN great prizes. http://q6trivia.imagine-live.com/enca/landing
