We would like to thank everyone who has been in contact in the lead up to our preorder launch, we are humbled to have had such a huge response and greatly appreciate your interest and support.

We are excited to be in a position to build a new generation of disk mastering systems for today’s engineers.

More exciting still is the opportunity to develop longstanding relationships across the world through our client support services and ongoing product development collaborations.

We have sent preorder sales agreements to parties who have shown interest in receiving them.
Please contact us if you haven’t received a contract and would like to purchase.

Sincerely

Out of phase piano.
Depth calibration via suspension box only (no active depth control or elliptical eq applied).

Ortofon 2M Black actually traced this groove (and may have made some of its own path… obviously resulting in distortion).

We have taken our time with R&D to produce flexible systems, with workflow and tools designed to support the user in undertaking informed experimentation and skills development in the disk mastering craft.

Analog warmth, the cause of the noise in the last testcut.

This stylus cleaned up ok but I’ve changed to a NOS Adamant NSH2-S tonight.

Sending out sales contracts early next week and will be taking deposits in July.

(not the stylus with the glowing heater wire from the earlier post ;)

Aeron for scale.

Vacuum pump, tubes, cabling and upgrades not shown.

System dimensions are, Width 800mm (widest point from tonearm to right side of carriage).
Height 1200mm
Depth ~700mm (approximate due to cables & tubing at the rear of the system).

Pump dimensions 350x250x200mm.

I’ve spent the weekend recalibrating the suspension box for stereo after rushing to send out lacquer cuts that were made on more of a DMM calibration.

Pushing the limits a little here (wait til you see @hdvinyl_rebeat Perfect Groove pack this type of cut!), the goniometer shows playback of the grooves in the microscope video.
Audio is the result, 2M Black working hard!
(1kHz 7cm/sec, 🎧 Instagram editing/ upload seems to have oscillated the tone for some reason).

I’ll share more samples with this new calibration this week and we’re sending out sales contracts finally too!

Please get in touch if you want one!

I’ve started sending out test-cut emails, I’ll try to get to everyone by tomorrow evening.

We’ve had a few bounce back so please get in touch if you haven’t heard from me.

The testcuts are cleaner than this old dubplate!

Thanks for your patience and support!

We’ll be taking deposits after June 30 (EOFY here in Australia).

If you missed the preorder information email last week please get in touch.

Don’t worry about the prototype catching fire, we were only testing some thin heater wire🔥

First time carving copper today!

I designed the suspension box to be flexible and I’m delighted that this system is capable of DMM.

I will continue R&D on this throughout the preorder lead time and will make some optimised optional upgrades available.

Somewhat of an experiment in terror, I spent 1/2 an hour calibrating and then wasted more space with an ultra wide fixed pitch. #theshining
Not too bad for an old diamond and the current belt drive setup on this working prototype.

We’re currently finalising T&Cs and our sales contract which we will be sending out to interested parties.
