Are you sure you cant break the tip if it bounces? That happened to me as well and I actually thought it was the reason for a broken tip i had.cheers

bouncing? how does your stylus look like?

That's really really interesting!

One can take a horse to water but he cannot make him drink

why dont you send it to germany or holland i am sure someone can do this there. that doesnt cost you more really

;( cant watch it from shitty germany

hey guys thank you for all the answers.
@mossy i am just curious. I didnt say i want to be a pressman lol:)
Cheers

sounds good all together:) and yes i know about the riaa. But i am also wondering why some of the racks still cost so much money. i am talking about the ortofon for example. Often there are 2 amps 1 preamp (riaa) maype a pich computer an 30 years old eq and limter. not worth 25000 Euros i think. @ A...

i would send them an email. a while ago i got an email saying that they started doing this.
cheers

i think vinyl factory in sydney australia does that..
cheers

I understand that i just reckon with a proper master before hand this should be obsolete you know I mean whats the point of a second master really?
cheers mate

I was talking about the eq's. I know a bit about mastering. Have been making music for the last 10 years. i just dont understand why i need eq's and limiters when i cut on those systems. normally the music you get is mastered and if not than it would be so much easier to master with nuendo or simila...

cool and i have another question:) why does a neumann or scully normally have eq's? i don't get it because nowadays everything is mastered anyway. so it should be alright to just play the cd with the master adjust the machnine all eq's on 0 and cut? i mean if i master my tracks i want them to sound ...

yup i know that. the question is just if you can compare those two lathes?cheers

i mean should be possible to use a neumann head as well and same amps and stuff. anyone with experience?
cheers

its def. the same machine. have a look at the marks (paint) on the left hand side where the microscope arm is. it is on both pictures identical. weird

Yeah I am in germany.
I decided to stay for a while who knows i might go back to oz one day.
Yeah a manual press would be good to start and get the feeling but it seems like they are pretty rare, any hint?
I mean what sort of manual press would you recommend apart from the toolex?
cheers

Thank you andy.
