and may i add that as these are proper acetates they sound and smell million times better than the "vinyl carver" plastic ones

and wear out a lot faster than vinyl carver plastic ones...real acetates are great, but are not meant for repeated playing, vinyl carvers last forever, sorry.

Congrats on the new studio.

We just got one in Copenhagen this weekend actually. They're only cutting plastics though.

Regarding sound quality.

Yes, acetates can sound better than plastic ones cut from Vinyl Carvers but this has a lot

to do with the mastering job. The best dubplates I've heard have been from Transition in London, who only do acetates. I recently spoke with Hatcha & Skream (dubstep dj's who only cut at Transition) about their dubs and not only did they sound amazing but according to them, they had been playing some of them for more than a year.

Dubstep doesn't have as much midrange as soul and therefore, they will probably sound good for a longer period of time.

My sound system cuts at vinyl carvers and we have got some very good results. They do a nice mastering job themselves yet we also made sure that they got large wav files with enough headroom etc. If you just send them a standard mp3, I'm not sure the result will be that good.

The same goes for acetates. If the mastering is is poor, your acetate will sound poor.

BTW Does alot of soul jocks cut acetates these days?

I've also been playing some acetates cut a number of years ago (by Jason at Transition), and they still sound sharp. I fell it is a bit of an urban myth that they all deteriorate quickly...take care of them and they are fine. Just think of all the 60's acetates in circulation that still play well, even after DJ abuse! Sure, you probably couldn't use them as mastering laquers now, but the majority of them were not even made to be mastered from...more to simply play to prospective artists, labels, producers etc.

It is also worth noting that the prices quoted by the Timmion boys are very reasonable...good luck chaps...the more acetate lathes kept in working order, the better!

Not going to get into Carver over acetate thing. But agree with Flynny, the more kept going the better. Whatching the late Ron Murphy in action on his machine was a real joy. These things are a real work of art and i'm pleased to see someone using them.

Best of luck boys

Try cueing them then see how long before you get a hiss. I've got 60's acetates which are as good as when they were made, but I wouldn't cue them.

aye I'd say acetates last almost as long as anything just keep using a decently new needle and adjust your tonearm weight properly. and no cueing... even for vinyl
