New Gramophone and Needle test because of sound problems

Описание: After two interested and attentive members pointed out the ticking noise in the background, here is the repeat, supplemented by the use of a steel needle.

So here I would like to present (once again) two gramophones, each with a bamboo needle from Burmese Colour Needle and a medium tone steel needle from the German SSS Werk, which still manufactures gramophone needles.
Using the recording "Ich wünsche mir, dass Du mir sagst 'Ich liebe Dich'" (I wish you would say 'I love you' to me), I would like to demonstrate how different the sound is on these two gramophones in particular and how the choice of needle can affect the sound.
For those new to this interesting field, here is some information: the record is played on a Columbia 175 (American manufacture with electric drive) and an HMV 102, but not with the standard soundbox No. 16 or 5a, but with a Meltrope III.
Another video will follow on the difference between the Meltrope III and the HMV soundboxes.

As before, opinions and discussions on this topic are expressly welcome.


Many thanks to @burmesecolourneedles4680 for the needles and the IM Pointmaster.
