Hi all,

I have been cutting for 39 years. I also mastered records at Artisan Sound Recorders, Kendun Recorders, Location Recording Service and MCA/Whitney Recording Studios on your list. None of these mastering facilities exist any longer. Also cut at Future Disc Systems and AcousTech Mastering, not on the list. Neither of these is still cutting either.

My current facility, which I own and operate is CoHEARent Audio, LLC
www.cohearent.com

I have a Neumann VMS-66 with Technics SP-02 motor and Zuma ZMS-1 computer.
Neumann SX74 Cutterhead
Cutting system was built from scratch and is totally discrete, transformerless, pure class-A, w/300WPC amps.
(as is the entire system from tape head to cutterhead)

The rest of our gear, just too much to mention, is on the website.

I specialize in Audiophile remastering for vinyl, CD, SACD and FLAC downloads

Best,

Kevin Gray

This list is still far from complete. Len Horowitz/HRS should be here.... and I don't know if Leandro G. works for one of the listed Brooklyn houses. It's late at night...forgive my sloppiness.

Rare Form Mastering in Minneapolis, MN, USA.

I've been mastering since 1984 but got into cutting only about three years ago and I'm having a blast! I'm loving the sound and the process of making records.

I've been a tech for most of my career and custom build much of my own gear. Getting under the hood has been challenging but is a big part of the fun of running a lathe.

Neumann VMS70 SAL74B SX74

Barry Porter EQ
Sontec EQ
Telefunken EQ
Custom 4 channel disk cutting EQ (Gerbers ready to send off...)

API 2500 compressor
FCS compressor
Requisite compressor
Maselec de-esser

Studer A80 preview deck with Ampex MR-70 electronics
A fleet of analog decks (Studer, Revox, Otari, Ampex, MCI, Teac)

Custom mastering console
Custom lathe interface (various monitoring, metering, preview lateral and vertical offsets)
Custom Biro DAC
HEDD 192 ADC/DAC
PMC MB1 XBD monitors
Hypex amps

I've already learned a lot here on Lathe Trolls and I'm really happy to be a member of this community!
