Stereo Cutter Heads Available - Presto - Vinyl Recorder

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

Stereo Cutter Heads Available - Presto - Vinyl Recorder

Some exciting news for Presto or small desktop lathe users.
Also compatible with Vinyl Recorder.

I have developed and just finished a Dynamic Stereo Cutter Head only 63mm wide that is capable of cutting nice clean loud stereo cuts! Uses a Vinyl Recorder 340 Stylus.

First tests only made a few hours ago and here’s the results.
Calibration EQ (FabFilter EQ Match)
used which includes the RIAA curve and also a quick preset was used from Ozone Dynamic EQ (I think it was called smooth high end) which gently tamed the top 2 bands.
Probably not needed if not cutting so loud!
I have cuts without and was still very good but for transparency it was used for this test cut attached.

I have someone in the UK buying two of them and someone else in Italy, and if they are happy, more will be available.

Contact me for pricing. They will be made to order.

Hello

Thanks for the message!

It really is a reality now, over 30 cutters using these heads daily now with excellent results!

What machine do you have?

We have different heads for different machines.

Lee
