Vinyl LP Pressing Plant Tour By Steven R. Rochlin

  Enjoy the Music.com and Enjoy the Music.TV invite you behind the scenes for an exclusive tour of the Quality Record Pressings (Acoustic Sounds) vinyl LP pressing plant. This special presentation takes you into the heart of a facility dedicated to preserving the art and craft of analog sound, showing how passion and precision come together to make the records collectors and audiophiles cherish.

On the factory floor we join plant manager Gary and owner Chad Kassem as they walk us through each stage of production. From the initial mastering and lacquer cutting to the creation of metal stampers and the actual pressing of vinyl, they explain the purpose of every step and the reasons each detail matters. Their hands-on approach and decades of experience make the technical process accessible and fascinating.

Guiding the tour is Steven R. Rochlin, Creative Director of Enjoy the Music.com, whose commentary ties the factory's methods to the listening experience. He highlights how choices made during production—materials, temperature control, and quality checks—directly influence the final sound. Through his narration, viewers gain a clearer sense of why certain records sound the way they do and what to listen for when evaluating a pressing.

Beyond machinery and technique, the tour emphasizes the human element: the technicians who monitor each press, the engineers who troubleshoot problems, and the quality-control team that inspects every finished LP. That combination of skilled labor and careful oversight ensures each record meets the high standards Acoustic Sounds is known for, preserving the warmth and nuance that vinyl lovers seek.

At the end of the day, the factory tour is a reminder that vinyl is more than a product—it's a medium that connects artists, craftsmen, and listeners. Whether you're curious about how records are made or simply love great sound, this journey through Quality Record Pressings celebrates the dedication behind every groove. As always, what really matters is that you... Enjoy the music!
