Vol V No 2

I am told there is a phonograph record cutting lathe on the market that costs around $12,000.  This makes it feasible for independent record producers to cut phonograph masters directly to disc without a tape intermediary step.  You lose the ability to tweak the sound and add instruments, but records made direct-to-disc will have presence, sparkle, and immediacy that those made from tape will lack.  I was told the cutting lathe is marketed under the Gemini brand.

Vol V No 1

I urge reades to write or speak with your local FM radio station management if you would prefer broadcasts with no digital signal processing.  Pursuant to letters from me, Miami FM stations Majic 102.7 and Big 105.9 removed digital processors from the signal path.  Likewise Tom Kent and the Casey Casem Show
 re-broadcasts went all-analog recently.  You won't receive these shows in all-analog form if your FM station uses DSP.  Tom Kent and Casey Casem are nationally syndicated Monday thru Friday evenings and Sunday mornings, respectively.
