Re: New Cutter (The DRC) - Destined for Kickstarter...

Thanks for the feedback Flo. I have been trying to contact you (for years if you count my attempts to buy a Caruso) , and whilst I do take exception to you calling names (VMSPoland) a public slang match is not my style. You have my contact details and I’m happy to speak constructively offline if you...

Re: New Cutter (The DRC) - Destined for Kickstarter...

Yep, direct drive. The coupling/spindle are undergoing a re-design right now (literally) while we wait for the remaining parts. It's a hybrid of the two I guess, I've specified and tested a custom motor... the prototype is good but the packaging/structure were not suitable. So it's currently being l...

Full Units for Sale on Kickstarter...

We have been inspired (or is that persuaded? :D ) to bring the release forward and offer the full unit for sale on Kickstarter. I am currently locking down the complete BOM to get the absolute best price possible... it will be very close to cost to help us scale up production. It's been a crazy rid...

Re: New Cutter (The DRC) - Destined for Kickstarter...

Thanks for the post :) We are finalising the head detail shortly... currently in negotiations with others to either OEM an existing unit and/or partner with someone in development. As mentioned, this is a prototype that we are funding in the attempt to scale production up and make the package afford...

Hi...

You can have an Audax if you like, as mentioned, this is proof of concept only and the system will include a Stereo Cutter-head and electronics.

Re: New Cutter (The DRC) - Destined for Kickstarter...

On Westrex Head Support... I've mocked one up but I need to spend a little more time on this. The head mounting component is currently being "printed" in Nylon... I'm experimenting with a CNC cut alloy mount with 3D printed damping internally. There's a cool filament I've been messing around with ca...

Re: New Cutter (The DRC) - Destined for Kickstarter...

Thanks for the replies! :D It is close to being available, I want to change the aesthetics a little though, especially with the turntable component. It's going to be more elegant than the pics you see. I'll be releasing on Kickstarter in the next few hours... for a 31 day period, then we can go into...

New Cutter (The DRC) - Destined for Kickstarter...

Hi All... I’ve been offline for a while (long story), but you may know me from my Butler Mastering days. I’ve since ceased mastering to work full time on developing audio products under this name... speaking of which... I’ve been dedicated to a project [I’m hoping] you will be interested in. Develo...
