threeornothing Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Wow! Would have killed for technology like this 10 years ago....although I dread to think what this would have cost then!Vestax VRX2000 - Vinyl-R Cool or what? It cuts discs in real time from a live source (dat/tape/cd/md deck, mixing desk, whatever). Blank discs are about 10 a shot, the stylus will cut about 20 hours of music until it needs replaed, which is about 250 a shot. The unit itself 8o is a cool 6000.....Will stick with CDR I think....

threeornothing Posted February 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Hehe...seemingly the quality is very high....(provided you've been on a training course on how to use it...no shit!) .... I can understand the appeal to DJ's (cutting their own "White labels" for spinning and scratching at clubs, and vinyl junkie bands who want that one off special disc....but yeah....

spellchecker Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 could be a good investment for a shop, to charge maybe 20-30 a pop for someone to record their own vinyl from a CD or something. would pay for itself before too long i'm sure.

RF Scott Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 it'd probably be cheaper to just get a run of records pressed..still, its awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teabags Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Filthpact/Afterbirth got our vinyl done somewhere in London.330 7"s for something like 550. that was on heavy vinyl (anyone who has seen the record KNOWS it is one HEAVY fucking vinyl)And that was a ripp off.Get a pressing of 500 done for something liek 250-300 in Czech Republic.Only problem is getting the records through to the UK without having to pay tax on them.So yeah, though that machine is fuckign amazing looking, its FAR too expensive (10 for a blank disc??) to even consider using for your own releases.

psydoll Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 330 7"s for something like 550. that was on heavy vinyl (anyone who has seen the record KNOWS it is one HEAVY fucking vinyl)It certainly is heavy - almost everyone I've shown that too has remarked "Gee willerkins and struth mate that's a heavy vinyl ya got there!" or words to that effect.It's a wonderous machine but perhaps, as others said, not that practical for home use.
