Re: New JAES paper on tracing distortions
This paper is as relevant now as it's ever been IMHO, and I look forward to giving it a proper read. Definitely! Distortion on playback is one of the most important things for all of us to understand. This is especially true in an era of cheap tables, conical styli, a young consumer base with littl...

Re: Documenting key events in the history of vinyl record making from 1990 to 2015

Can anyone confirm that MDC temporarily halted production following a tsunami and that their subsequently produced lacquers were of poor quality because they had trouble finding usable compounds to adh...

Re: Documenting key events in the history of vinyl record making from 1990 to 2015
Well, the Apollo factory in Banning CA 'burning down'...personally as a cutting engineer, the loss of Transco and Apollo lacquers wasn't one !

Re: 1:10 conical reamer for Neumann Stylus DIY
Hi..you don't happen to make corundum styli with facets for Neumann's by any chance? All we have are Japanese 'Adamants' and they're expensive and not that brilliant.
Thanks for taking the time! Pete
