Still possible to get a VR in 2024
Hello trolls Is it still possible to get a VR from Souri these days? I sent a couple of emails but no reply as yet. I heard that it’s a challenge to get one from him, is there any advice from people on here who have successfully got one they could share to help in my quest? Also is it true that he w...

Re: New: Phonocut Desktop Disc Cutter
Thanks for the reply Flo, appreciate the detailed response. The frequency response seemed ok for the price my biggest concern is the pitch wobble which would put me off of buying one. Looking forward to finding out more and hearing better tests! Have you considered making a more expensive ‘Pro’ vers...

Re: New: Phonocut Desktop Disc Cutter
Fantastic project and I am very interested but still have some reservations. In this Youtube demo comparison: https://youtu.be/ZNHzLK-GFgo You can hear that there is some pitch flutter on the Phonocut version noticeable on the Rhodes chords. To me it sounds like the motor / drive on the turntable mi...

Anyone pressing 12' Records like Europadisk etc - 90's style
I absolutely love US pressings from the 80's / 90's. As a Brit growing up in this era and buying US records as 'imports' they have always held a special place for me, and always (to me) looked superior, from the type of shrink wrap used to the card sleeve, and to the inner with the curved corners. T...

Re: Polycarbonate 12" - 10" blank records searching
Would the Myshank blank be better for embossing (and with a longer styli lifespan) than polycarbonate or is your experience
just with cutting?
Thanks!

Re: Embossing/impressing vs cutting with examples and theory
How does a backwards stylus with no apparent 'leaning back' come into play here for you guys? What's your experience if you have tried this technique. In my experiments I have found that I have got the best results when using a backwards sapphire to emboss (on polycarbonate) VS a steel or tungsten s...

Re: Embossing/impressing vs cutting with examples and theory
Hey Jesus Thanks for the post! Very interesting, I would love to hear the difference between embossing a polycarbonate disk (preferably with a backwards sapphire / ruby) and then cutting a polycarbonate disk using a diamond stylus, both on the same machine with the same program material like you hav...

Re: limit of vinylrecorder T560?
Hey Marcy One thing that you have to consider as well is the physical limitation of cutting to disk (whatever the type - PVC / Acetate / PC etc..) Listening to your master that you posted - it is very bright and limited / compressed and the cymbals / guitars that come in at around 7 seconds are very...

Re: Angulo Records lathes of Argentina....wah huh?
Interesting! So with this chemical you are able to strip away the top layer of a pressed record and then cut it? And you are able to cut it with a Sapphire? On the video the chip looks white or clear - is this a byproduct of the chemical used? I would have though chip from a pressed black record wou...

Re: Advice needed for a VMS70
Try contacting the people here (if you haven't already) http://www.toyokasei.co.jp/en/Contact.html
They will probably know someone in Nihon who can help you I think.
