"Pressing Vinyl"


Take a few minutes and watch this video regarding the making of LP's from PS Audio September newsletter. Somewhat interesting.

Precisely. And when the Lumber sexuals decide craft made beer and vinyls are out, where to next? :)
Atmasphere ;

I remember that , back in the day , CD's used to have different designations AAD , ADD & DDD denoting the analog and digital processing involved . This was printed on the back of the jacket .
Is there some type of designation for the all analog process ?
Whart,

MoFi records are pressed at RTI in California. Not sure if they use more than one plant. But I do know the wait time for many reissues is often absurd, which could be a function of both using RTI exclusively for quality consistency and having limited mastering equipment capability as new projects go underway.
Act- RTI for sure; don't know if they used any others. I was addressing an earlier post that suggested MoFi had its own pressing plant. I don't buy many remasters or "audiophile" records these days, but of the 'new' MoFi's I have, the quality is good and pretty consistent. That old MoFi vinyl formulation that JVC used was really as good as it got; I rarely listen to them because of the EQ (those I bought many of back in the day b/c it was one of the few "audiophile" labels that had rock music as opposed to sonic wallpaper). I know the delays were one reason Chad decided to go his own way. His stuff has been pretty good too, though, again, my experience is limited- I have some of his older stuff pressed on RTI (test pressings) that are great!
