Did you try buying from Souri?

just popping in to say I cut on two T560s at the same time, all manual. the trick was combining two hoses into one chip jar and maintaining suction Thanks Tragwag! No extra complications? It sounds doable indeed. But I'm also still interested in automating things, even for one T560. I can imagine i...

Yes it absolutly works. You can completly automate multiple t560 with midi of your daw, stepper motors and a teensy or arduino type boards. This includes head down, lead in, cut, space between tracks, lead out, head up, move head back to start position. A lot easier and less hardware needing soluti...

Thanks for the tips guys! Just found this vid from Tim which seems to show the head lift automation mech: https://youtu.be/jddgylg-H2s Would like to build something like that myself so will try to contact Tim for a chat... Hi Sue, did you ever got information about the automated head lift mechanism...

Sounds good to me. Well done...

Are you doing these tests on an mkII? Or do you still have the mkIII?
If it's the last one, big chance your stylus is again damaged.

There's always this: https://youtu.be/Nfvykg7no5g Well done, thanks for the upload. Very quiet indeed. You apparently chose for a direct copy from the CD which had more low end. Because of this the bass on the lathe sounds a bit boomy. But I'm 100% certain you can get the bass sound more natural li...

If you run out ... you'll feel it when you turn the screw that it's not smooth anymore... Souri told me something like that...lol Good tip. Never thought about it but seems logical. I guess it goes for all moving parts. Thing also is, since some parts are open, dust can come in and after time the o...

@ gridlock & fred:

Love these texts! I'm all for wizardry so you got me in a spell now... oompa loompa! Who cares for hi fucking fi...

Not what I said. I don't mean making a black and white reproduction of a color photograph. If you were to take two original photographs of the same scene, one in color, one in black and white. Is the black and white photo by default "crap" because it doesn't replicate the scene as accurately? Just ...

Random thought followup: As the first responder to the OP, I'm taking this opportunity to follow up. Honestly, when I read the OP I thought it read like a commercial for the Vinyl Recorder. "Lathe cuts are crap unless they're made on a VR" LOL. Hah :D Perhaps. But it's more your projection... Peopl...

Your formula operates on the assumption that the only redeeming quality of records is fidelity. Hi Piaptk, I fully agree with your point of view. I was obviously not very clear about my opinion. I dó like lo fi A LOT . My music (as a musician) is rather lo fi. I love every aspect of it and I agree ...

Thanks so much for davor!he help me a lot and we finally found the noise reason is may cause by the broken stylus Hi JHL, it's not surprising your stylus is damaged with the wrong set up of the VR. I suggest, first make sure all the settings of the VR are set within certain safe parameters. And onl...

Did you use different settings on the groove spacing knob (green knob)? Bigger grooves will possibly lead to bigger swarf. Although I can't remember if the difference is this big. Perhaps in combination with stylus weight. The thinner swarf looks more normal to me. Not so sure if the stylus heating ...

Haha. Great plan!
