Hi At one time there were record recorders. They would take a signal and cut the grooves on a blank disk. The home units were a bit iffy and did not make anything nearly as good as commercial disks. Poor signal to noise, poor fidelity, expensive for the time. IMO digital is the way to go. You can make as many archive copies as you want and each will be the same. With proper encoding ....say anything over about 24/96 the results are hard to tell from any known (realistic) source material. The digital copies can contain audio, video and documents without any issues. Vinyl can't do that. Digital storage media is dirt cheap now as well. 128-256G jump drives under $40, 1TB SSDs at $70, and just this week I saw a name brand 4TB spinner for $75.

Good Listening
Bruce
