Have you ever tried to play one, l did when I first got it and played ok but when I tried 55 years later not good as you can tell from my video. Edited by getalife on 29th Jan 2023, 4:58 PM |

 | GimmeVinyl Member since Nov 2019 597 Points | Stampers? Are you sure that you don't mean " mother discs"? A stamper should be the complete negative to a record pressing, and as such could only be played in reverse rotation with a special stylus that would actually ride on the groove "peak".. The cartridge manufacturer Stanton used to make a stylus just for that purpose... To repair slightly worn stampers so the record pressing plant could get more pressings from a particular stamper. |

| getalife So many questions, so few answers Member since Nov 2010 876 Points Moderator | Stand corrected, mine is a positive and thought it was called a stamper. Makes sense the negative being the one that actually stamps the vinyl. Out of curiosity does the positive "mother discs" create the negative in the same way? or does the "mother discs" stamp a negative mould to create the stamper.

| getalife So many questions, so few answers Member since Nov 2010 876 Points Moderator | Having had mine 56 years l now know what it’s for, thank you, l learn something new every day. The sleeve with mine has “positive” written, is it still a mother or does it go through another process to create the mother?  Edited by getalife on 17th Mar 2023, 4:02 PM |

| annaloog Member since Sep 2012 6419 Points Moderator | The 'normal' sequence, put simply, is lacquer disk, which is cut to produce a master, the master disk is plated to create a 'father' (negative image), which is plated to create a matrix (positive), which is plated to create a stamper (negative), two of which are used in a record press to stamp multiple copies. Direct metal mastering (DMM) eliminates two of these stages. |

| getalife So many questions, so few answers Member since Nov 2010 876 Points Moderator | Thank you, very informative and simple for me to understand. Direct metal mastering (DMM) eliminates two of these stages. When did that process start, or was it available back then 50/60s |

 | The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS My body is on the diminishing streak. Member since Dec 2011 8049 Points Moderator | An easy to understand blurb here with illustrations backing up annaloog's post. The Direct Metal Mastering (DMM) came in the 80's while the Direct-to-Disc had a short-lived push in the 70's. Edited by The_Vinyl_Junkie on 17th Mar 2023, 10:39 PM |

| GimmeVinyl Member since Nov 2019 597 Points | I remember certain recordings being touted as "direct to disc", and something that was new at the time. Obviously people had forgotten that all music was recorded direct to disc before the advent of recording on tape... Edited by moderator on 13th Apr 2023, 5:24 PM |

| getalife So many questions, so few answers Member since Nov 2010 876 Points Moderator | Thank you all for taking the time and effort to answer my question. Is there a big difference in sound on the other method, no YouTube on the two given.  |
