Further, I feel the Neuman was designed for cutting microgroove LP's, not loud 12".
To qualify, I have spent many hours on a Neuman, but I haven't used or been in the same room as a Scully. I am basing my opinion on trying to get a Neuman lathe to match cuts done on a Scully.
AKAIK, no one knows everything, so we all suffer from the 'little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing' syndrome, IMHO  |
You are right nobody knows everything.But i try to speak only facts that can be backed up. How can you compare the two systems if you have not done test cuts on both systems based on the same track/engineer/signal path(Procesors)/ batch of lacquers.
Sorry if my tone is offish but there are too many inaccuracies and myths floating around about vinyl.
