The sound is normally lovely but plates do tend to be heavy and inflexible so dont drop your bag from a hieght and dont overpack them or they can snap. Also sometimes the lead in can be slippy making it hard to count off the tune but its nothing that careful cueing wont solve.
In short they are lovely objects - its a dubplate bizniz .
very interesting words mate. thanks
in short you chose acetate or vinyl?

Dubstudio are quite big for vinyl dubs although they do acetates as well. I can't comment personally but I know they're quite popular on here...

lower levels from dubplates, usually-- rarely a problem tho.
the lead in WILL get cue burn, it's just a fact of life.

When you cue up a record - by scraching the beat back and forth before you release - this bit always starts to skip after a while meaning you have to cue it gently and carefully - Fecking annoying tbh
Thought this is what was meant.
I have never actually done it to any of my records and have only received records that were in that state.
I think I did actually buy a new record not long ago tho that skips at that start:(

Henry does a really good job!
fast delivery, good sound, good levels!
and they can be cued and played lots of times . . .
can even endure some cuttin n skratchin
(even with the ortofones that everyones saying eat up dubs)
lots of old and experienced people use them

Dubplates(lacquer)Do not nesasarily ware out they just get a bit more crackly over time but a dubplate even after 30 plays still sounds better than the one off vinyl alternatives(Not to be confused with a vinyl record manufactured from a three stage galvanic process).Trust me i have done the tests.
