Of course all the Half-Speed-Mastered audiophile LP cutting centers can do it since they have to cut at 16 anyway. Ndiamone here – look me up on the aforementioned vinylengine and tapeheads and audiokarma and lathetrolls and just about every other related vintage record engineering and electronics board. At least somebody had a picture of a 16 rpm sector.
Have you ever seen a 16 rpm record? Do you have particular memories of vinyl from your childhood?
I wonder if 16 rpm can even me mastered and pressed these days? At least my TTXs can run 33 rpm at -50% should I ever stumble across one. I also did a quick check on eBay - seems that The Bible in spoken word form is reasonably easy to locate, but nothing in the way of music. So instead of me trying to sound like an authority on something I just researched, check out this excellent Bloggerhythms piece from 2011. Unlike my seven year old self who did accidentally break the odd 78 (you knew this anyway parents), I have the internet, so googled “ 16 rpm records” and got back everything I needed to know about the mystery that has haunted me since childhood. I remember a good selection of Sixties 45s (including Double Barrel on 45 that got given to charity before I could lay my much older hands on it), a diverse collection of seventies LPs (Carpenters and Johnny Mathis for my Mum, and Deep Purple for my Dad) and even the odd inherited 78 too.īut there was a setting on our stereo music centre (it had one of those interchangeable spindles where you could stack up a bunch of 45s too) that confused me, and to this day I don’t think I’ve ever come across one, and that’s “16”. I have no idea why this just popped into my head, but I had a flashback to being a kid (yes Jared, I was young at some point), and being fascinated with my parents’ record collection.
