The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

Dunno. The only thing I know for sure is that it was NOT done at GZ otherwise they would have piped up last year when we were doing this instead of saying ``you send us your file and we'll cut whatever you want to normal ordinary standards'' the same as everybody else. So like I said - that leaves s...

The guy I FTPed the files to - (he was never a member here) his handle was EastMidsBill who was (presumably) in the East Midlands of England - some suburb of Leics or other I think. The sign in the picture he sent says River Snar if that's any clue. The postmark on the old box he sent says ``Thurm''...

Year on (or so). 1 Got this PMed to me by somebody for quad playback purposes. http://pspatialaudio.com/quad_ambi.htm coupled with their no-need-f or-RIAA phono cartridge. http://www.phaedrus-audio.com/DisC.htm In the crappy Web audio demos all I can hear is the center channel comes up out of the mu...

Old thread but how about all the guys that used to or still cut the e.g. Traktor and other music-element loop type discs? I know everybody that does/did those (or their proteges) all cut their teeth on the e.g. Silver-Burdett classroom music LPs in the late 60s and early 70s. Those are all around 30...

I doubt very seriously that a vintage blank could even be recorded on, even with a heated cutting stylus. Nitocellulose acetate is said to be ``alive'' when it comes out of the factory and after curing, has a shelf life of a number of weeks or months after which it starts to dry out and harden. Tryi...

With the new 45 RPM 180 gram green vinyl double-disc all-analog set coming out next year (the first of a number of scheduled Heart audiophile releases in 2021), the same oft-held discussion about whether a comma belongs in only ONE of the refrains and not both has been resurrected once again. For al...

RE: Commercially-Oriented Consumer Crowdsourced ``Databases'' (and I use the term in quotes incredibly loosely) such as Discogs and CD Baby and Musicverse and etc etc etc. I joined it last year because guys on other forums were begging and begging me to upload my huge collection of obscure formats a...

I'll tell you one thing that's funny. Like any other kind of new marketing fad - they didn't know in advance these were only going to have two incarnations (I count the sports card and Audubon incarnations together since they butted up against each other) several years apart and that each one was on...

Although there WAS one from France that DID play at 45 RPM. Not the same thing as the U.S. version which runs at 90 RPM the same as all the others. Sort of a cylindrical affair about 4 inches tall and black with the player on the bottom and the speaker on the top designed to play similarly-styled fl...

BBZZZTT! Wrong answer. Try again. 1 It came out in 1978 same as the Fisher Price Phonograph not in the 80s or 90s. 2 Count the revolutions in the video of the related Comes to Life/Yes! player. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qj3zaLomyxA From 6:25 to 6:55 you get 45 revolutions in 30 seconds From 8:...

Back in the day you could get books by two companies. Fisher-Price and Yes! How can you make one of these records this small nowadays? Anybody who does doll records can do these, providing they can cut inside-out. Don't know what the RPM of the 'talk to me- format is 90 RPM the same as the Mattel A...

I just ran across a cutter guy who claimed to have an MFG from Horowitz University they been doing it so long. Having considered him a mentor myself for the better part of 30 years - I bit and asked what the MFG stood for - and he answered kind of like smart-alecky - Master of Fine Groove (presumabl...

45 RPM audiophile Super Sonic series LPs came out. but i guess not before the 80s. Several classical and jazz titles were cut in the 70s but of course all on lacquer and all cut at 45 for 45 playback the same with the DMM titles in the 80s. Also I could not find any infos. who produced that stuff. ...

Three years on and before the lacquer plant fire we got our STEREO LACQUER version of the 33 for 45 tests back - sent them around - and everybody thinks they are marvelous - meaning we might be able to go forward with the DMM version and then the CD-4 DMM version once the coronavirus is over. We cut...

I read in a magazine ages ago that Marcussen tried it once back in the 80s when DMMs were still new and fairly scarce. Supposedly his DMM head went out from some trainee overdriving it and there was a project with a deadline that was too close to run it over to the other DMM house in Hollywood at th...

``The History of Recorded Sound is developing a board of directors and strategic plan as a non-profit, 501(c)3, in order “to preserve the legacy of audio.”

It's about time.

Four years later gonna add a video and one little tidbit about speed we didn't cover before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXi06xoVlYM This is the second version - the CAV - that had the most amount of lessons produced all the way up to the early 80s. Each track is five seconds in length, so that ...

But that description of punks isn't any punk ive ever met! (LOL) That's punk MUSICIANS and their FANS not punks/juvenile delinquents (LOL) But I looked around - on eBay/Amazon and etc and it's true - all these ads for flexis and 78 RPM 7 inch singles and 45s that play from the center to the edge an...
