Our services support all clients, from one 78rpm acetate record to heritage and archive collections. All acetates, shellac and vinyls are digitised on professional Pro-Ject record decks using high quality cartridges and stylus to suit the vinyl.
78rpm transcription records are 'nitrocellulose acetate lacquer discs'. These discs contain a castor oil plasticiser that over time leaches out, causing chemical reactions causing palmitic or stearic acid deterioration. The surface coating is prone to shrinking away from the core and to plasticiser loss, which appears as a whitish, mold-like contamination on the surface. Palmitic and stearic acid is a fatty acid that accumulates on the surace of the record as a greasy or crystalline deposit. The discs appear white, waxy or oily which is accelerated by moisure which by turn affects the playback quality and longevity of the record.
Our services offer clients archival analogue conversions using Prism Sound and Izotope audio restoration to provide all supported digital output formats. With our specialism in taking care of precious and valuable archives, clients are reassured of our experience and policies which underpin our award winning company.
