The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

Thanks David to have taken a calculated risk some of us didn't dare try.... When I first had my VR, I had so many noise problem...ground loops... motor speed noise... and all of what people are describing. I had notice that there was power going to both boards in the main unit.... the RIAA-eq and al...

Since I solved this problem I decided to post on it and warn people if they go through stuff like that. When I bought the Vinyl recorder Souri gave me a little Rca in and out little pot... to put after the mixer to adjsut the level between both channel.. if ever the sound is not balanced going to th...

The funny thing is I needed to adjust the balance of the RIAA a lot ... my right channel was a lot louder than the left . I re-adjust the balance of L&R with a sine wave, after that the 2 channels seemed almost the same. so problem almost solved. But Why the left channel would be that low compared t...

What a freaking great idea to do that.... If ever you're near Montreal... I'd bring a maple sirup whisky and we definitely nerd on things..... but for how long...lolol I don't know.

Hey Guys, With the VR Anyone had this before? My left side is more clear and my right side has more bass.... on Souri's main unit when I do a A-B... I still have low frequency content... When I rip the cut I did ....when I put both channel in center... it becomes a little off phase and I lose a litt...

Hey Guys

Thanks a lot for your answers.... I'm very curious to know why the IRIAA doesn't feel standard on the low end spectrum...

Handcut what do you feel your new setup has brought to the quality of your cuts? What is your new workflow?

Cheers guys
Ben

Hey Guys, Hope everyone is doing great ! I have 2 little question here: 1- I've listened and monitored the output of my VR main unit after the RIAA encoding to see what it was really doing and I realize it was only a really intense boost in the High frequency range and not cut in the lows.....Forgiv...

Thanks Anderson


Will try that.... What is the LPI ?

Hey Guys, Quick Question here, I realized lately that in my cuts I can hear the vibration of the vacuum... I'm on a VR and I have the little vacuum Souri's sells instead of a big shopvac.... I wonder if there's anti vibration tape.... or if anyone of you is facing this problem too Let me know Cheers...

Yes, it looks pretty much the same to me

Good idea to try with another turntable

Forget about this, i realized my cutterhead angle changed over time.
Put it back where it belongs.... Works like a charm

Thanks
Ben

Souri maybe can get you the bearing, he did for me. Maybe be still had some in his shop. The platter weight is very intense and made my first bearing collapse and broke.... But i suspect it was already weak because without motor and plate i couldn't get a good cut without flutter. Souri sold me the ...

Hey guys
I have a little problem here, I have some clicks and some weird noise but ... Im not sure what the problem is.

The clicks are not often but are very loud, more than only a used stylus!

I posted pics of grooves, looks very weird to me!!

Oh wow,
What is the size of your work area? I went on the website but didn't find it!

That is interesting !!!

I imagined that the biggest size you can go is 10''?
Am I correct?

wow, that's interesting!!

Have you tried yet with your deep cutting blade?
You think a 2mm would fit in this?

cheers !! great discovery!!

That looks very artsy and cool,
Have you hand painted one side and cut on the other one?

Looks awesome!
Ben

Thanks a lot Steve, I've been following Todd's progress from the time I joined this forum, I lost track a little bit in the middle... but always been supportive of people wanting to get out of the pond and be creative against all odds. Challenges brings perseverance... I was just hoping that Todd wa...

Hey Todd,
By end of the line, do you mean you won't be posting here anymore??

By the way, what kind of stylus will be required for your cutterhead? Will my Souri's stylus fit?

Pioneer plx-1000 was terrible for me, more flutter than my SL1200. I bought the precision motor and plate from Souri, since then I didn't regret it!
It's really worth it,
