International Clients welcome!

I have noticed a real upturn in the number of projects coming from outside the USA. I especially welcome these projects and encourage other folks from around the world to send their projects to me.Lately I have worked on a number of projects originating in Brazil, Hong Kong, Malasia, France and Great Britan and have been obtaining great results. I've had number one charting hits in Hong Kong and newspaer articles about Don Grossinger Mastering in Brazil. I love the variety and scope of muic worldwide.

Every few weeks, I receive catalogs in the mail from several high-end audio dealers, all of them offering turntables ranging in price from about $300 to $5000. A few of those dealers also sell vinyl. In 1991, when I bought what I then thought was a serious audiophile turntable, a Denon DP59L, I assumed I was buying one of the last of a dying breed. If you'd told me that, 15 years later, turntables would still be available, I would have said you were being too optimistic. Yet here we are in 2005 and you can still find a turntable to fit your budget. More surprising is the fact that some companies are still trying to find ways to improve this old technology. Even more unexpected, high-quality LPs -- new titles as well as reissues -- are being pressed right here in the US.

Still, LPs and the hardware to play them remain a specialty market. Most of the people who buy turntables are, I'd guess, at least middle aged and already have large record collections. (Hip-hop DJs don't buy Rega turntables.) Most of our friends long ago dumped their vinyl off at Goodwill (our gain) and traded it for CDs. We vinyl lovers are a fringe group, and small changes in the industry can create anxiety among us.

Don Grossinger is a mastering engineer whose recent credits include an all-analog master for the vinyl release of Brian Wilson's Smile and the excellent vinyl reissues of the Rolling Stones' ABKCO/London catalog. I asked him how he felt about the current state of vinyl in the marketplace. "It's not as healthy as I expected it to be," he told me. "If you had asked me six months ago, I would have given you a different answer. But Universal closed its pressing plant near Albany, New York, and plant closings are not a good sign."
