Making audiophile vinyl LPs means getting as close to the master tape, sonically, as possible and trying to cut down generational loss from the lacquer to the vinyl LP. 'For our Ultradisc One-Step releases [HFN May '17] we use one-step plating to create our stampers,' says Zapor-Gray. 'One-Step plating reduces the number of plating steps down to a single step and that plate is used for pressing. We also switch plates for pressing more frequently, meaning that the listener is also receiving a record that has been pressed on a fresh, unworn stamper.'
