Acoustic Sounds sister business, Analogue Productions, reissues choice jazz, blues, classical and folk recordings.
[3] Located in a 20,000 square-foot former refrigerated warehouse in Salina, QRP operates three different kinds of record presses that include Toolex Alpha (made in Sweden), SMT (Southern Machine & Tool Corp. of Nashville, Tennessee) and Finebilt (of Los Angeles).
Other technology employed helps mitigate variations in other factors that can compromise a record's quality, such as pressure and vibration.
Uneven contact between the surface of the press die, to which is attached the stamper (the mold that creates a vinyl record), results in temperature variations.
And just as ambient temperature, humidity and variations in steam and water pressure affect the quality of a vinyl record, so do the minute environmental vibrations from nearby equipment.
