Hello

Hello,

This is great, I stumbled upon your site trying to finding information. I have an old Bell Sound Systems cutter and have had some success with it, but I am looking to upgrade to a Presto overhead type lathe.
Is there any books that anyone can recommend for mastering on vinyl? I have an old book from the 1930s and it is very informative and detailed about vinyl recording. It even gives info on setting up microphones. Its been my learning reference. Hope to talk more soon.

Welcome, AudioCarver! SOmeone is selling a book which is announced elsewhere on this site...I haven't bought it yet. It's not contemporary stuff.

Try this one:

I bought it, its got loads of papers on all sorts of stuff and if you buy this book it saves you a lot of money buying all the papers separately:

"Disk Recording, Volume 1, Groove Geometry and the Recording Process, An anthology on disk recording from the pages of the Journal of Audio Engineering Society, Vol.1 - Vol.28 (1953-1980)"

Its available from the AES web site. Even talks about video discs

My "bible" from the mid-1950s onward was Oliver Read's The Recording and Reproduction of Sound. Not a how-to book as much as it's an anthology of period gear with a good bit of history. The book pops up now and again on half-dot-com or eBay.
