The sound of the lathe would have more to do with the Westrex part of the system than the Scully mechanics. Can you be more specific about what types of Westrex amps and what series cutterhead you like?

The HF limiter on the Neuman just kicks in too fast on extra loud stuff, and also introduces some of that nasty distortion I beleive.

There were three generations of Neumann amplifier racks and two basic types of HF limiters. Which types are you talking about?

Further, I feel the Neuman was designed for cutting microgroove LP's, not loud 12".

Anything that is stereo was designed for microgroove. Westrex invented the stereo format that is used in disk cutting today.
