Bad news aspiring home record pressers, the vinyl the Vestax cutter uses is
a special blend that you have to buy from them. You can't buy regular vinyl
or recycled vinyl. Anybody know how pricey the vinyl the cutter uses is? I
seem to recall reading that it AIN'T CHEAP.

I heard about this last year. I heard it costs about $5000 (pricey, but get
10
friends together to chip in $500 each...) I don't know where one could get
blank records from aside from bulk industrial sources.
