WHY JAPANESE VINYL?
Japanese
vinyl pressings are globally renowned for their superior"virgin" vinyl
compounds, which provide an exceptionally low "stone silent" noise floor
and crystal-clear audio fidelity. During the 1970s and '80s, Japanese
plants maintained much higher higher quality control standards than
their Western counterparts, using fresh stampers to ensure every copy
captured the full dynamic range of the master tapes. These releases are
also celebrated for their premium packaging, featuring heavy-duty
card-stock covers and archival-grade inner sleeves that preserve the
record better over time. For the serious listener, a Japanese pressing
represents the pinnacle of audiophile craftsmanship and long-term
durability.
