Inside California’s New Vinyl Manufacturer (and Every Audiophile’s Dream)
California's new vinyl pressing plant Fidelity Record Pressing is a high-end manufacturer that recently opened in Oxnard.
Davis co-founded Fidelity with the father-and-son team of Rick and Edward Hashimoto; the two have over seven decades of pressing plant experience combined and have emerged as leaders in quality and proficiency. Another way is through the plant’s record cooling process, in which only five vinyl are stacked on aluminum plates (as seen above) to help preserve disc integrity by drying slowly. The composition features carbonless dye, resulting in a quieter surface that reduces noise floor and enhances groove definition.
