Anyone Ordered A Mantra Cutterhead Yet?

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.

Todd does great work, and his knowledge of the subject is very deep.
Looks like the mantra is not selling quite yet - as the body was redesigned last month (Sept 2017 post)
here's the official mantra site (which I got to from his Deep Grooves Mastering site)
