LATHE CUT RECORDS
The playback performance and audio quality of lathe cut records varies from record to record, and turntable to turntable, based on the nature of them being hand-made. Adjusting the counterweight and tracking force for your tonearm should help with most issues.
"WHAT IS A LATHE CUT RECORD?
Lathe cut records are individually cut polycarbonate records. They are cut in real-time, one at a time, and typically in very small runs. The audio quality is quite good, but not as hi-fi as a traditionally pressed vinyl record. The higher price of lathe cut records reflects the time and skill it needs to make each one. The hand-made process of these records lends a more idiosyncratic aesthetic as each record is, on many levels, unique. They are viewed more as an art object than a mass-produced record."
