I just bought a grampian lathe. With this lathe comes a SC99 and VC200
What is the maximum cutting level with this cutting head and this poweramp.
I'll have certainly other few questions in this same topic later.
Thanks in advance to you

About your amplifier,you have a power of 68Wper channel.
The frequency response of cutterhead is of 20hz to 18khz with deep bass and clear sound.
Cheers.
by the way, it's precisely Andre from Vinylium who repaired this lathemotorino wrote:ask to Andre http://www.vinylium.ch/
he is a good men and i believe dont have any problem for send you all documentation about
for lathe things...its a 60hz or 50 hz turntable motor? ask to your salesman for adjust
with good sound processing you can cut PRO levels
on the VC200, I choose feedback to hear on the monitoring sound's going into the head.studiorp wrote:you're probably listening the sound with reverse riaa and this is the cause because your sound is more clear compared to the original input sound.
I'm quite sure it does sound good. I do know how disc cutters work inside.motorino wrote: we cut track, without any sound processing, and open too much her eyes....my friend is a recognized producer that has been having discs in the market for many years
the vc200 have a very good open sound

I do not even dispute that we use certain microphones, tape machines or disc lathes for their "sound". I was simply saying that any type of "sound" as in a particular quality that changes the output from the input signal is some sort of coloration that is a type of distortion of the input signal even if we think subjectivly it sounds "better" than the original input signal. It is all very complicated psychoacousticly speaking. We have a good sound of an instrument or voice in a room. We try to pick it up with a mic that has absolutly flat response and record it to a digital system that has absolutely flat response - yet we don't like this theoretically flat accurate sound. It sounds subjectivly "too thin" to us so we use another mic that "sounds better" for this application, run it through eq, compression, perhaps record it to analog tape and finally cut it with a lathe to get the "sound" we like. We just need to realize that we have used tools to make it sound subjetivly better to us. It is not "better" by measurement as far as flatness of response, dynamic range or freedom from distortion than the original sound. It simply sounds "better" to our ears.
