RCA Victor Instruments
It would seem superfluous to mention the absolute necessity of using RCA Victor phonographs if you would extract from your Victor records all that is imprisoned within their shining grooves. Victor records and instruments perfectly complement each other; no other instrument can reproduce all that is on Victor records. Improvements in reproduction have moved forward, just as improvements in recording, and to appreciate the full beauty, the utterly convincing fidelity of the modern Victor record, it is imperative that you hear it reproduced by a modern RCA Victor instrument. Even if you now have a phonogragh that satisfies you, we ask, in justice to the records into which so much effort, so much skill, and so much living beauty have been poured, that you go to an RCA Victor dealer and hear a record of today on today’s reproducing instrument. The result will be one of the most startling and delightful musical experiences you have ever had.
