trancefan, he means a device to produce records at home.

Well, I hate to disappoint you but neither Vestax nor Kingston have their units ready for sale (and probably won't be offering them anytime soon). And price-wise they are probably out of most people's reach (the Kingston being the cheaper one at about $4000 while the vestax is expected to be twice as much).

The cutting stylus too will need to be replaced every 20 hrs of cutting time (that's about 80 records) and it will cost aprox. $200 - 300 ... also blank vinyl should be between $10 - 13. This is clearly not a viable option if you want to download and press MP3s on vinyl - it is more suitable for producers that want to do test cuts of their tracks.

So if you're short on money you'd be better off buying your tracks (not to mention that you are supporting your favourite artists that way).

Thanx for the info, can't say I'm pleased, but maybe I'll think about investing in a CD mixer.
By the way, I don't plan on stealing trax, I have some of my own that I think may work well at parties.
Peace
