MyShank Nightingale Cutterhead

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.

Hi!

Not sure if anyone else is using one yet, but last week I received my Nightingale system, it's set up and then past few days I've been calibrating and running test cuts. So far very happy with this (and Stevens support!). I don't own another feedback system so I can not compare to others, but my test cuts have been sounding fantastic and the rack system is all working perfectly.

Thought I'd make a thread as it's a new system, and good for anyone else with one to share feedback. From my point of view, great system so far with no massive teething issues. Any issues I've had, I've had a instant response from Steven who has explained and sorted it.

A new Nightingale System running over a T560 system has just arrived to Spain. Steven is giving me a incredible support and I’m learning a lot from him. He is very busy but always answer and help… The sound is incredible, I’m cutting stereo dubplates for electronic, reggae, hip hop… at very good level and quality, 100% recommended, I will post some pics soon…

I also have a t560 with Nightingale System. The sound is great and I am very satisfied. The support from Myshank has been great ... and Steven has been very professional.
I am a beginner ... but the results I am having are extraordinary

Does he sell that whole setup or just the head? I’d be interested in one of these complete setups. I know there can be a little bit of a lead time, but I wouldn’t mind for this kind of setup. I’ve been trying to get a Vinyl Recorder but Souri hasn’t responded to me in 2 years!!

from the site it looks like Myshank sells 3 different packages, just varying with the level of assembly required for the preamp and cabling.
so just the head, and necessary preamp boards with each, different levels of pre-assembled

That sounds really good. A small background noise is audible, but in relation to the music sound it is very small (and in my opinion negligible).
Great cutting performance!
