Re: Presto 6N vs T560... differences?
I believe it is all what you hope to achieve, each can produce good results depending on the operator. 6n would be ideal to start on vs. t560. I know everyone loves their 8n's so don't count on finding one easily! Just some things off the top of my head.. Pros 6n: 6ns are generally cheaper, 6n parts...

Re: For Sale: Presto 6N
DAMN! 7k for a restored 6n now a days, lathe cutting gear has officially peaked! Or maybe not...
Anyways, best of luck on the sale. I bet it's a great machine

Re: Mastering with the t560
I wouldn't worry about masters yet, cut your teeth on t560 lathe cuts for some time...lots of time! Then start considering what you need to meet professional standards from there. Maybe you can achieve those standards with the t560... but you won't know until you've become a pro to cut like a pro.

Re: What model of lathe cut is it?
t560 might be your only choice right now in that price bracket besides the Phonocut (can't speak if it is good for short run stuff). Go older if for mono, cheaper machines to buy and good to learn on (Presto, Rek-o-kut, RCA, etc..)

Re: Bad lacquers quality
Just getting my Neumann lathe set up and I thought I was having cutting depth issues. Glad to hear I'm not going crazy.. mine are MDC as well. Not glad to hear there are MDC surface problems when spending over USD $1,000 per box

Re: Coloured Blank Discs - where to get?
Could you take some pictures of the laminator? I've always been curious of the discs and the laminator he uses.Voxster1965 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 14, 2017 9:34 amYou really need a disc laminator if you are going to do this. I think Souri still sells them.

Re: Transparent blanks behaves differently when cutting
I do find black blanks are quieter. Although, clear shouldn't be giving you a huge noise floor difference unless your stylus is coming to an end. Make sure to measure heat from outside of the blank and heat from outside, clears take forever to heat up.

Better than the stanton decks but not better than 1200 with souris motor. We still need a precision platter on ours though, there is a little bit of visible run out

Re: Laser Cut Record
yes we must move forward... there must be a format we can make with blank discs and lasers that don't crackle and pop or wear down with usage.....Oldskoolhousehead wrote: ↑Thu Aug 06, 2020 3:34 pmHowever, vinyl production must go to the next level at some point (at least that's how I feel about it). The Apollo disaster proved that.

Re: VR: Heat Affecting Dashpot?
I had to get some new oil from Souri, tried a lot of different substitutes. Steven said he knows the recipe, but not sure if he's making it anymore. Wrong dashpot oil can cause lift outs for sure. Honestly, most of these issues are from sticking parts. I like to drop the head up and down off the pla...
