Re: Caruso parametric curve

I would go very slow.cut some stuff you know and where you have the master and a reference on vinyl. listen on a decent system you know.compare and and do slight adjustments.. the fab filter .pink noise is the wrong way to go. Technically yes .but soundwise very bad idea… You don’t have to dream. Ca...

Re: Neumann cutterhead mount on Caruso

the original target lathe of caruso head back in the day was not a neumann. more for simpler smaller lathes often with less space. so i made a 8mm bar not 10mm . but its hold by 3 standard M3 screws. so take a little longer screws and it does not matter if its 8 or 10mm bar. if you want a 18mm round...

Re: Agnew analog system

i think its very easy to find out. this should maybe go to a general buyers guide for cutting equipment. just send in a few music samples and ask for a cut on the actual particular machine that you are looking to buy. any serious seller, will cut it and send it for reasonable amount of money. pay fo...

Re: Recommended DC motors for turntable

hello Mark
the premotec was just laying around... not the reference.
and it only works with belt driven TT's as they dont run stable on direct.

but if you go the belt way you find cheap some bldc with electronics for 30-50$ esy
