I cut but I didn't do any of these records. So you were comparing the vinyl to the CD versions at matched levels, right? No comparing, just flat out listening thats all. I don't buy CDs that often, only when the release isn't made on vinyl or the record is so horrible sounding I have no other choic...

Polycarbonate blanks update
Hey trolls Just a heads up, my supplier is now basically making me order a certain amount of blanks at a time so I will not be offering blanks for anyone anymore unless someone wants a large quantity, i.e. a sheet at a time which breaks down to about 42 7"s, 48 10"s or 28 12"s of any one color. Any ...

The job was 30 copies of two different lps. Each one being a little over 40 minutes a piece so 60 records total. A copyright form is a great idea. I've had people ask me before to do stuff like this and I've automatically replied with no. Just sucks because I wasted a lot of time I could have spent ...

It could be due to the angle of the chip nozzle being vertical in correlation to the poly chip and static. My vacuum set up is a little shop vac attached to a chip jar and clear plastic tubing going to a brass nozzle which is at a 45 degree angle up then perfectly horizontal near the stylus and I do...

So hypothetically speaking if one were to obtain an ortofon what is so negative about it? I have a bunch of mobile fidelity lps which were cut with ortofon heads and I think they sound fantastic. Also what would that head and amps actually be worth as an offer? I mean grampians fetch anywhere from $...

Thanks for the kind words Mike. Boris, to answer your question - for me it's because I'm helping someone realize their artwork into something that is more personal than a burned cdr. The people I've worked with so far are very cool and passionate about their music and their projects. It's a whole di...
