New Analog Technology???

👍

They’re just lacquers. The only difference that I can sus out is that the lacquer is applied to an aluminum disc vs lacquer all the way through. In other words, it’s more of a hybrid than something new.

Actually regular lacquers are in fact an aluminum disc that is coated with lacquer; there are no lacquers made that don’t have the aluminum disk inside. The Appollodisk plant burned down a few years ago and is looking like it won’t get rebuilt so now the only source of product like this comes from a guy in his late 80s working out of a garage in Japan.

“An Ionic Original is the pinnacle of recorded sound. It is archival quality. It is future-proof. It is one of one. Not only is an Ionic Original the equivalent of a painting, it is a painting. It is lacquer painted onto an aluminum disc, with a spiral etched into it by music. This painting, however, has the additional quality of containing that music, which can be heard by putting a stylus into the spiral and spinning it.”

Huh. Sure sounds like... an LP....
