Default 16" discs - need player

Oh, and WRT to old 16-inch disks, whether horizontal or vertical cut,
they likely predate the use of RIAA equalization, so played back on a
contemporary rig, they might sound a bit odd. It could take a bit of
research to find out what EQ was used on any particular disk, as it
varied from one manufacturer to another.


Or you could simply record it and re-adjust the EQ in your wave editor until
it sounds right to you. That's what the original recording engineer did,
only he didn't have anywhere near the tools now available to the home
recordist these days.
