http://www.vinylrecorder.com Anyone know this product?

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

would the blank discs they have work for a portable lathe cutter? is there an issue with them maybe being too hard of material for the needle to cut into?

I heard a testcut of this thing,
its alright! some people here in germany say its a bit dull...
but i think it depends a lot on the person who uses it...

the trick is also: it uses diamond styli and not saphire
(we tried to cut into souris-vinylrecorder-plates with normal cutterheads...
its not possible!...you need the right cutting angle --> 15° for acetate
0° for PVC as far as i am concerned...i heard they heat up the PVC-disks with a light bulb and also with hot-water-baths but thats just rumours...
hey dr. dub you might know more?)

a better solution (maybe not for cutting PVC but for better soundquality)
is http://www.vinylium.ch --> kingston record cutter

these people were the first to build technics MK2 cutters...

check it out

you can cut pvc with the kingston, but the pvc its good only for scratch, the pvc sound isnt good for profesional, its trhu

kingston sound its BETTER than vinylrecorder souri, the mistery its the feedback!! and more things :D

the new vinylrecorder heads do have feedback...

i am not going into the better/worse discussion, but what we learned is 2 things:

- ONLY through experience and cutting LOTS of records you achieve satisfying results. if you don't cut on a dayly basis you will not be able to produce decent records.

- outbord gear is just as imprtant as whatever cutter you use.

we cut on all kinds of blanks (souri, pressed ones, apollo) and learned that souri's machine is working fine, once you have a setup that fits your blanks. this is one of the big advantages of it: it's flexible and you can twist and turn it the way you need...

if you use diamond stylus in vinylium cutterhead you can cut any pvc blank :D

of course, you can use zaphirus stylus for cut pvc...but the stylus recording time its low....

Can you tell me what's the difference between a pvc blank and a reference-lite blank that Apollo supply, and where you get the pvc blanks from.

Hi, does anyone know how long you have to heat the pvc vinyl for and how warm the vinyl should be before cutting with a Kingston Dub Cutter??

hi i have one of these machines sorry for late reply ...
sound quality depends on user .... at first i thought yeah these are ok but now i think they are amazing ........ you need a hot space tho minimum 28 degrees and each record has to be more than 42 degrees to get real good sound.... and stylus heating is different for each records depending on room temp give or take a few degrees this is important :D
