“The elasticStage process – which has been in development for the last six years – reportedly cuts out the pressing process altogether and effectively produces lots of first-generation master records on a PVC alternative, which should result in higher quality playback when they reach the turntables of vinyl-loving listeners.”
“The sound of the vinyl is a significant upgrade from the established 50-year-old manufacturing process,” said renowned music producer – and investor in elasticStage, Paul Epworth. “There is sharper definition in all frequency ranges without losing any of the vinyl character. Largely indistinguishable from the original master in blind tests, on a sonic level it brings the vinyl process into the 21st century, which is why I have invested in elasticStage as it represents an overhaul to the way vinyl will now be created.”
