Nice- thanks for the link.
An inaccuracy in the article- a 3 month delay in getting a project pressed has been common for the last 10 years.
Just getting the mastering done takes a while- which is why we started a mastering operation here in Minneapolis.
Have you guys mastered anything that's been released yet?
Sorry, couldn't resist
"there is the comforting surface noise"
...They did some modifications to their pressing machines to eliminate vibration during the cooling of the vinyl, with the idea this could reduce surface noise. They were right.
Sure. None of it has been audiophile stuff so far. .
All the more reason to list a few...I noticed that QRP was not one of the pressing plants listed. This is the plant that is owned by Acoustic Sounds. The projects we have done there have had so little surface noise that the electronics proved to be the noise floor.

Apparently this could reduce the appeal of those albums for a large number of LP buyers...
Some are on Nero's Neptune (neros-neptune.com):Ralph,
That doesn't matter to some of us. I'm curious to hear some of your pressed work. How about a list of projects you have done and possibly some information on where we can acquire them?

Do you really believe this or are you prodding the format?
I'm no more of a troll than anyone else on this forum, and I do take offense at that. I've been involved in what passes for high-end audio for over 40 years and have just as much right to my opinions about what sounds "good" or "realistic" as anyone else here. Tough if you don't agree.Do you really believe this or are you prodding the format?
The answer should be pretty obvious if you've followed his trolling.

Discussing the "LP revival" without acknowledging that most of the sales are not driven by "sound quality" as thought of by posters here is just ignoring an inconvenient truth.

Danny and the Darleans (mono) NN027
Spider John Koerner NN025 (reissue)
PETER BROETZMANN & HAMID DRAKE – Solid & Spirit 2XLP NN023
MICHAEL YONKERS – Grimwood LP NN020 (reissue)
SPIDER JOHN KOERNER – Some American Folk Songs Like They Used To LP (reissue)
We've done a number of private label projects, some of which have not released. I have to say I was not impressed by most of the master tapes or files we've seen so far. In the case of the reissues, we were able to get sound that was better than the originals, so that's something...
Take offense at what? I was asking a serious question. Don't really care what way anyone goes with there music format choices. That why I love my country... Free choice.
Do you really believe what you posted or where you prodding (having fun, or whatever with) the format?
I haven't been following anyone's posts, so my question was serious more or less.

Thanks Ralph. I'll look into picking up a re-issue of one of these titles.
