“High Definition Vinyl” Is Happening, Possibly as Early as Next Year | Pitchfork
This is interesting. While a lot of people have been pointing and laughing, the fact that they seem to be fabricating a stamper directly from audio data instead of cutting a disk and electroplating it is interesting indeed.
This could make it considerably cheaper to get vinyl pressed, and that's not a bad thing. It's a little disappointing that it necessitates a digital audio step in what could otherwise be an entirely analogue recording chain, but most cutting houses use a digital delay anyway as part of the variable pitch recording system.
