Finally, an in home vinyl cutter.

I love that they cut a record from a digital master, then digitized the record for sharing online among with the article.

If you do the math, digital will work in these applications, and the third recording demonstrates this thing is good enough for noisy lo-fi.

I am curious how it would do with test records. Like for pink noise, would there be any significant artifacts in my audible range, i.e., 20-14kHz. Is the noise mathematically clean or is it messy? I am also curious if there will be any sub $5 third party blanks that are just as good as their $10 ones.

Congratulations on the new purchase. I would also like to buy one, but I'm still researching which one is the best.

Why stop there - pure analogue recording and playback. No need for expensive power cords, or interconnects, you don't even need to worry about batteries.

I clicked on this topic because I wondered what kind of things people make at home out of vinyl.
Then, oh, that vinyl
I'll get my own coat.

"You got a light, Mac?"

Discogs is going to get flooded with fakes.

So what's new?

I remember when I was DJing in the 90s there was a sort-of-affordable LP cutter made by one of the DJ companies. Maybe Numark, but I can't find any record of it. Does anyone else remember it?

I can’t recall where I read it, someone did claim that there were an “impossible to describe” realism inEdison cylinder!! Could have been from “ Romy The Cat” website … not saying it was Romy’s post …

This is really cool, Probably has some potential in doing direct-to-disc recordings as well. But I have a question, what is the point of recording digital files to vinyl?

To play them on a turntable, which will change how they sound.

How does the sound quality of one of those home-cut disks compare to a comparable commercial one?

I have no data, but I'm going to guess not as good.

I'm skeptical that a desktop device can make cuts as small as a cutting lathe and that the 'at home' material is as good as what is used commercially.

I would be confident 100000.9799% that the home made cuts will not sound as good as a professionally mastered record. Just a wild guess.
