Thank you, we have more than a dozen spare speakers! Tomorrow we plan to start collecting a new copy. While in the same form, the design is functional. The main forces were devoted to the development of their diamond cutters. We already have good results. I'll be sure to post information later. Hi,...

Hi all 🫡. I would like to check in and inform you that we are returning to the active phase of work on our cutter. In the coming month, I will again be happy to share our results. The reason for our absence is banal - war. We had to change plans dramatically and only now have we found the opportuni...

Hi, The reason for cutting inside out was to make the transition from a multiple disc performance seamless for broadcast. If you start cutting inside, you have lower fidelity. As you move to the outer diameters, the fidelity improves. When you reach the end of the side, the next disc starts its rec...

...I am a lover of 7-inch singles at 45 rpm.... ...As is known, in a cutting recording, as the end of the record is reached, the spiral becomes narrower and therefore the separation of the grooves as well. .. This means that the low frequencies are present, but the high frequencies are not in the s...

Hi, finally the problem of the distorted sounds it has been solved. It was all due to a lack of weight in the stylus. Due to the fear that I had of damaging the needle, I did not apply more than 14 gr. weight following the advice of MyShank, but for my configuration it was not enough, so by chance I...
