I'm looking at buying a cutter from vinylrecorder.com
They sell blank vinyl records. But, I would like to be able to make my own vinyl blanks. (I think it would be fun and might be a little cheaper - and better than ordering over seas).
I thought I read somewhere on a web site about people that made their own blanks...
Does anyone know how do do it?
Thanks!
Jeff

you have listened as it sounds pvc recorded with? in your studio?
you do not buy without it to have listened before, and compare with other brands
lacquers are better than pvc sound
look the kingston dubplatecutter at www.vinylium.ch
luck!

I don't know anybody that has the Kingston or the Vinyl Recorder. So, I am not able to hear the difference. I would really need the same song cut on a lacquer and vinyl so I can compare the difference.
I have read that lacquer sounds better than vinyl. And I have read that vinyl is more durable than lacquer. So, it seems that you have to trade one quality for another. Do I want records that will last longer or sound better?
My thoughts are that a lacquer will start out sounding better than a vinyl, but will wear to the point where it sounds worse than the same vinyl.
So, records that gets more plays and are less likely to be scratched or damaged outweigh lacquers sounding better at the start.
Also, the Vinyl Recorder is less expensive than the Kingston and it seems to have all of the same features as the Kingston.

vinyl blank
Four years ago I heard a blank that had been cut on a Scully. The impression, the cutter gave me when we talked, was the trade off was stylus wear not sound quality. Something like 75 cuts on lacquer compared to 7 on vinyl. The blank supplier was different, I vaguely recall the name 'Bamboo Guy'.
