Its nice to see that the Omni Top 12's have the same type of great coverage that the DR line do. Do you have any voltage figures for that vid?

Heyyyy, my memory of those songs is that they lacked clarity! They've never sounded so good.

with classic country and oldies whenever possible I try to rip them from the earliest album I can find that even means 78 rpm records in the case of hank Williams Sr. ; with selfbuilt class a preamps and period
cartridges

Although I'm still trying to Ebay a western electric A-1 steel needle phono a Stratton 600 does nicely from 1898 to the 80's, oldies and country seem to love the omni top 12 naturally with a flat eq.
