Vinyl Mastering
Featuring a fully restored, custom Scully Mastering Lathe
There are 5 setups in the world (that we know of) for this kind of “floating” Westrex 3DII cutting head, and all were custom made for A&M Records (two are currently in use at Bernie Grundman mastering). Wonderfully tight in the low-end, silky smooth up top and clear as bell. Simply put: it sounds beautiful.
