no sound from groove.

I recently read a posting regarding a troll cutting but getting no sound
on playback
I am using new saphire and I am getting sound at the cutter head
and can feel vibration at the stylus but only background noise on
playback I have tried adjusting depth of cut and stylus angle, probably something obvious - sure I read someone on this forum with similar problem just cant locate it
any help appreciated

Maybe recorded sound is too low? What cutter are you using? Maybe you applying too much pressure on the head while cutting?

[SueDenim]

Just to confirm, are you cutting or 'embossing'?
If cutting, what does the chip look like? (eg. is it grey/shiny, thick/thin etc.)

[emidisc]

I am cutting getting good continuous thread

maybe stylus is badly secured in place? What cutter do you have?

[emidisc]

I have a Birmingham Sound Reproducer BSR 33C
pretty sure stylus is secure...........

hmmm... I don't know this cutter. I had a similar thing with Audax h4. When it came I got sound from it and thought everything is ok. But when cutting I got very low sound.
I took apart and saw that rubbers used as dampers where worn out or got exhausted through time. Then I changes to what I had on hand - and that was 1mm silicon technical rubber. Worked better after all.

Maybe you have the same problem?

mabe stylus is mounted 180degrees wrong.

Then it would emboss not cut. As Emidisc stated he is getting a good swarf... And even if embossing there should be ANY reflection of sound....

Emidisc what material are you cutting on?
