Re: Neumann AM32 and other equipment for sale
This offer geared towards professionals? A minimum of $100k?
We're a record label with a budget of $20k to invest in producing short runs of 20-30 LPs for our artists. I'm the label's technician with knowledge in IT and electronics, so this is my task for the future months.
I suppose there might be two options:
#1 The easy way: buying this kind of equipment $$$$ + basic knowledge.
#2 Building it from scratch $$ + lot of time and knowledge...
I could be mistaken, though. What are your thoughts?

Re: Neumann AM32 and other equipment for sale
Forget #2. Look for a pro machine in bad shape and restore if you have the technical chops. To start from scratch and expect to equal a machine of that caliber in a reasonable timeframe and budget is not realistic.
Re: Neumann AM32 and other equipment for sale
outsource, 20K won’t pay you for the time it will take for you, to learn how to produce a prograde record for the retail market . Much less the equipment needed to do it. If work is paying for it , consider taking the weekend class is Arizona with mike . Lathe Camp com He can also sell you something like a 6n in your price range. Then, one at a time , you could emboss LPs for you bands. There a lofi alternative . Great to sell at merch tables. But each has to be made in real time. Just something to consider.
Re: Neumann AM32 and other equipment for sale
In this case I would advice you to wait some more time and visit the forum every day until someone decides to sell their VR. Another advice is to aim for CUTTING records rather than embossing.

In the meantime you can find someone who can cut the records for you. Maybe you won't have profit from it but at least your label will be on dropping records.
Hope this helps,
