Edison, Inc. on their Edison Record label from 1912 to 1929. They were named Diamond Discs because the matching Edison Disc Phonograph was fitted with a permanent conical diamond stylus for playing them. Diamond Discs were incompatible with lateral-groove disc record players, e.g. the Victor Victrola, the disposable steel needles of which would damage them while extracting hardly any sound. Uniquely, they are just under 1⁄4 in (6.0 mm; 0.235 in) thick The sound of Edison discs is unique. Due to his hearing issues, Edison did not like the ringing and reflected sound which was evident on most other disc recordings. He called it the “Victor ear tickle.” So Edison recordings were made in a “dead” studio that had no reverberated sound. While it takes away a bit of ambiance from ensemble recordings, solo instruments sound amazingly realistic. In fact, a violin or cornet solo on a good Edison recording sounds as if the player is actually in the room. It was this incredible fidelity that prompted Edison to rename his discs “Re-Creations.”
