Something I learnt from bitter experience is that you want to be careful to make sure your mix isn't too bright in the high-end dept, personally when I mix for vinyl I would rather have a fairly dull top and brighten it at the mastering suite.

If you have too much top-end it will cause the cutting-head to swerve radically, sometimes it'll jump out of groove and ruin the lacquer, not cheap! Neumann made an "acceleration limiter" to prevent this happening, but I've never liked the resulting sound so my recommendation would be to go easy with the high freqs.

The main men to ask for this kind of thing are Paul Gold and Jack the Bear, they usually visit here but if you need more info post a question on Brad Blackwood's forum here:

Paul and Jack can often be found lurking there.
