THE GUARDIAN For the past year a Middlesbrough pressing plant has been helping artists make records, and there is no sign of demand slowing down It only received its first pressing machines on Christmas Eve last year, but Press On Vinyl is well on its way to becoming the biggest manufacturer of vinyl records in […]
A record-pressing plant on Teesside is to double production after a successful first year in business. Press On Vinyl opened in Middlesbrough in early-2022 with the aim of producing 50,000 records a month. Co-founder David Todd said the continued resurgence of vinyl records was due to factors including collectability for fans and profit margins for […]
READER 17447 writes From my long experience with hi-fi stereo systems from 1970 on it is indeed the turntable pickup including tonearm making difference in sound. Of course also the preamp with its RIAA equalization has influence especially when in early times this RIAA curve was not exactly to the spec. Even when cutting exactly […]

“Some six or so years ago, the Linn Asak cartridge set new standards for imaging and soundstage reproduction. I can remember the first time I heard an Asak in a system using Quad ESL-63s—I had never experienced such depth of soundstage and solidity of imaging from anysystem, and that with Quad amplification!

Having owned many good turntables in my audiophile life I am still wondering why not one of the modern designs of the last 20 years is able to beat the sound qualities of an EMT 927. New designs may offer some advantages like multiple armboards, more than one motor or additional vibration measurements etc. but […]
Whenever I read articles or questions on this topic….the answer always seems to rest solely on finding the Resonant Frequency of the particular tonearm/cartridge in question? As long as it lies between 8-12 Hz…..you have a good match. RF= 159 / sqrt ((eff. mass + cart weight + fastener weight) x (compliance)) RF: resonant frequency […]

Hi hoping to be spoon fed some nuggets of advice on grounding from a knowledgable fishie or 2 My turntable has a grounding wire attached to the underside of the bearing assembly, as well as the more traditional ground wire alongside the tonearm cable. I have 2 issues to try and fix – one is […]
I read a lot about vinyl being superior to compact disc but is this real true? How does one measure this scientifically? People say they prefer the “warmer” or “more natural” sound of vinyl and claim they hear a more detailed reproduction. The first part is a preference and as to the second is it […]
