Sounds amazing 👏

[@sirgarence]

Damn, I'm susceptible... seeing you go off and have a coffee made me go and have one too. I'm an advertiser's dream! Anyway, your videos are great - interesting and very clearly explained.

[@absolutekarl]

Hope you enjoyed the coffee !!!!!!!

cracking valve amp you've got there

[@karlbrown1291]

Hi Maxwell, yep, they are gorgeous !. Some 9 years ago I and 3 colleagues did a whole week-end of subjective listening to about 15 different amps, from classic British designs, like the Quad, through the "cheap" Chinese offerings, and up to multi thousand pound affairs. This (aptly named I would say) "Music angel" beat the lot by, in most cases a huge margin !. The one featured in the video is that same amp - wouldn't let it go after hearing it !!. It's had a couple of "semi" mod's since then: both the volume control and input select have been hard bypassed, in favor of a good passive pre-amp, which made a huge improvement, and, it's had it's input and output valves replaced with cryogenic (freeze treated) valves. You could have accused the valves of making it sound a bit sterile at first, but after a while you realize just how much more detail it's recovering. Overall a seriously musical sounding amp for rather silly money !!

By pure coincidence a mate of mine was browsing KZbin and came across this video, This appears to be the exact system i bought a couple of months ago from a guy down south, Could you get in touch mate, Would be great to have a chat about it, Im still learning but its a great system!

[@shanetoblerswiss]

Amazing. Track ID by any chance? What a jam

[@dylansmith3660]

Fascinated by the simplicity yet complexity of the cutting process and how special it is that it's basically a one-off. So, each dubplate has it's own unique characteristics. What's the song, by the way? Thanks!

[@DavidBerquist334]

What bands do the cut records for

[@CHAOSEXP666]

how much costs to cut ? can u send to brazil ? thanks

[@gerryroberts662]

ALSO NEW STOCK WOULD HAVE LESS SURFACE NOISE.... i THINK

[@planc7on]

hi! what cutter do you use and where can one buy it? :)

[@absolutekarl]

Hi ... A German guy (Souri) makes the cutterhead and overhead mechanism to be used with a SL1200 or similar hi torque deck. His site is: www.vinylrecorder.com/ We've used the Vinylrecorder mechanism & head on several decks, ending up with our own 3 motor affair !!. What ever deck you use it really does need to be strong !. We also use digital signal processing to significantly increase the frequency response and maintain a flatter response. Cutting on "vinyl - like" blanks as opposed to "lacquer" masters takes some doing, it's not a good sounding material, top end is difficult, and de-essing (of some sort) an absolute must for loud cuts !!. Souri's kit is pretty amazing for the price, and the head, while it doesn't have a flat response is absolutely fine, if not, really rather good !. Others will tell you different, but it's because they haven't eq'd properly, or quite understand whats going on and being asked of the system as a whole. Let me know if you take the plunge ... there's a serious learning curve, but great fun !. Oh, and you'll have to visit Germany for a training day with Souri !!. Fun though ... he's a brilliant engineer.

[@planc7on]

thank you for detailed response!

[@absolutekarl]

Your welcome - if you do anything with Souri, just be aware he can be a touch difficult !!. Shame as he's a nice guy really doing vinyl stuff "for the right reasons" ....

[@lizichell2]

lovely deck I want six for my house

[@wayneblake4596]

ANY WEAPON ON YOU?

[@mRr3gmasterz]

Humm, I notice at vid time 3:27 the disc has no Label after cutting,at 3:35 the Disc has Label on both sides.(o_O)

[@absolutekarl]

+Reg Thomas Hi Reg, I just decided to cut the bit showing the label application, as it's not exactly interesting content !!. But, of course, playback checked, labeled, numbered and "signed in the scroll-out" is an "end product" as a customer would receive.

[@andreasbauer6652]

huh, a ortofon cutting head ;)

[@MartinSBrown-tp9ji]

Sounds like it is skipping the same grove over and over. Is that supposed to be music?

[@absolutekarl]

It's the artists idea of music, not mine, but repetitive beats are hardly new anyway !

[@dontlookspins]

have you been asleep for like 40 years mate?
