Well done. I would have liked to see the overhead in more detail and heard the playback but still good.

Dope!

That stereo head looks pretty sweet. Thank you for sharing.

I have a mix up on soundcloud search nexus6ix the mix is called lathe cut dub mix check that for playback keep in mind I played it on numark pt 1 so on a regular deck the fidelity would be slightly higher.

Quite commendable results, Fred. I don't have a Soundcloud account, and they wanted me to get one, but if you just go to soundcloud.com/nexus6ix, there it is! I don't see or hear vacuum in your YouTube video, so I assume you're embossing. Would be interested to know: is stylus homebrew or bought, and if so from whom; what material you're embossing on; and the vertical angle of your stylus to the record surface. For the relatively small diameter you're recording at, the sound is remarkably bright.

its one of jerrys tungsten from ebay i also use sapphire cones but not on that mix
my angle is pretty relaxed
i emboss on clear lexan and black makrolon, the mix was made on black makrolon


cheers

Well, it sounds quite respectable. Do you use a lubricant? A snapshot of the system in action would be helpful. Thanks!

Computer to amp to lathe
