The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

I put a long post on the cymbalism thread that would have did well in this thread also! My hybrid system is made of all current day stuff, the sp15 is fine till I find a killer sp10, I would love a better head, but its working like a champ...the vacuum is fine, the heat lamps make it so I dont even ...

Ive already been cutting for a year! Ive sold lots of plates and nobody ever complaints, but i want it to be way better... The external motor, souri says its better to get a better drive...ive talked to some others about it before also, get a better DD is the answer! Yes three sp15's all mint for su...

Yeah the SP02 is the model, deffinetly not a sp10! I just want to create a hybrid version of a neumann lathe that satisfies not only me and my customers but potentially everyone...and a sp15 is a improvement over the 1210! I guess what I am really wondering is it a waste of time to go with a sp15 at...

From what I understand the sp15 has half the torque of a sp10 mk2, a third or so of a sp10mk3 and almost twice as much as a 1210. But Ive been talking to some turntable guys, and the sp10 mk2 has more issues with breakdown, and the sp15 is more reliable. Of course I want a sp10mk3, but they are very...

Hello, I am acquiring a couple of these units, sp15 by technics and plan on using for cutting with my VR setup, any comments or help?
Thanks,

I own a VR with lots of extras, im about to get a tecnics sp10, I have had no complaints, most of my customers are either college students doing a thesis on sound or djs, or people archiving bootlegs of bands such as the greatful dead. I have heard more wow and flutter on plates ive purchased...my c...

I like the sound of that!!

Hey, how about instead of measuring a useless statistic in a flawed way, we all try to figure out a new motor control system and motor? I totally agree...why not build a whole new turntable and pitch/depth control, designed with todays technology, that is meant to be used for cutting? Probably a pr...

At this point in the thread, one asks themselves.... Should this thread been redirected to the expirmentors section?

Yay! Patience and respect are vital when communicating with the man! He is putting his limited number of machines out there as a service too the community! He is very busy and if u give him shit or dont take any if his shit he will drop you! He isnt doing this for the money! His machine could cost a...

Hey megamike are those chimps high on acid?

Did u pay for the VR and have not recieved it? When I ordered mine, I had too talk with Souri for like seven months before he would actually let me buy one! I think he had a order he was filling before me and he also wanted to make sure I really wanted it! I tried to get him too send me everything.....

Yeah the place is crazy, stairs that go to little weird rooms, doorways to doorways! Its like a crazy maze funhouse! I dont think crowley did any lathing here tho, deffinetley debaucherey! The place and another in Coos bay oregon is where the statement "youve been shanghai'd comes from! Every hundre...

love the hunted bordello story,how old is the building? .. :) . The building was built in the early1870, the mission in SF is actually older, but the house was the center of any town, built on ancient native burial shell mounds, first place too vote, all the ancient trees in oakland went out my bac...

Sorry that came out wrong! I should have said too megamike... Thanks bro your totally right! I do all this internet stuff from my Iphone these days and typing gets crazy! Ive checked out you myspace and your personal myspace and some of your friends! I dont do myspace currently! It gets me in troubl...

Well im not the fastest cutter in the world, and waiting to be able too afford new diamonds and the whole mail system making me wait a month to get back at it! But ive got 20 solid cuts in 3 days! I feel pretty good about it, all my lead in grooves and lead out locked grooves, no skips. Sounds prett...

I mean shoots man, kid koala thinks the VR was a worthy buy! Im pretty sure that he is a crazy audiophile that wouldnt buy something that recorded crap! Much less several peeps out there...with established clientelle that are very happy with the VR! Souri was all they all hate me on that forum and t...

I understand how the weight of the head affects the rotation of the platter! That is why I am going to eventually get the extra motor, and a sp10! I mentioned that already a few times! But u are so ready to talk crap about souri and the VR, and justify spending whatever extreme amount of money on ur...

I am really only here to learn stuff and respond to positive vibe people! I like my VR setup for my skill level involved in the whole thing, which is none! I like the price, I know that cutting lacquer discs is possible on the VR, you just have to have the external motor and the saphire, change the ...
