Content is audibly less distorted and the signal-to-noise ratio is measurably improved.Īccurate tracing of the vertical undulations at the bottom of cylinder grooves is essential for playback fidelity and minimized record wear.
With vTrace, you hear only what is in the grooves, not the spurious effects of L-R cancellation. VTrace directly translates the sonic information of cylinders into audio. It’s an imperfect process that translates even slight performance differences between the two stereo channels into audible noise and distortion. Until now, to play cylinders, conventional cartridges have been re-wired for what’s called L-R horizontal cancellation which extracts sonic information from cylinders. By focusing on the unique challenges of cylinder groove geometry and recording format, Peter has addressed the fundamental causes of substandard playback. Peter is one of the world’s leading cartridge designer/innovators, with specific expertise playing monophonic media. VTrace is the product of over 8 years of collaboration with legendary audio engineer, Peter Ledermann. LP cartridges are not optimized to track or play this part of the groove. The sonic information in cylinders is recorded as vertical undulations at the bottom of their grooves. This system has little in common with cylinders.Ĭylinder grooves are shallow, dish-shaped and 2 – 5 times wider than LP grooves. LPs have deep, V-shaped grooves, and their sonic information – each channel of stereo sound – is recorded diagonally at opposing 45° angles.
Indeed, with hotel-like luxury and homelike comfort, Moss Manor is that rare jewel box where history, art and architecture all belong in equal spirit.The Only Cartridges Specifically For Cylinder PlaybackĪlmost all cartridges made today are designed to play vinyl LPs. “Here, modernity and history sit comfortably together,” says Luke. The abiding blackness of the pavilion is surprisingly in sync with the ornate masonry of the original building: the former’s sharp angles mirror the rectilinear forms of the old construction. Guests can sit in comfort and look out to the garden, towards the historic Moss Vale railway bridge and the roofscape of the town beyond.” “I saw an opportunity to treat the new extension as a sheltered platform offering views over the landscape. “The brief from the owner was for a new guest sitting and dining space, designed with simplicity of form and structure,” says Luke, adding that the design was inspired in part by Glenn Murcutt’s Berowra Waters Inn. The proof lies behind the building, in the way of a jet-black pavilion made of steel and glass. The hotel is as voguish as it is Victorian. “As a result, the rooms feel personally curated their character more in keeping with a lovely old home than a hotel,” The shell is divided into eight well-appointed guest suites, featuring fabrics and furnishings personally (and painstakingly) collected by the owner over several years. For a building so historic, the interior is remarkably cosy.
