Speakers Corner

I received a message this week from Speakers Corner Records. I had asked if they used mold release compound in their manufacturing. They told me they used Pallas as their pressing plant and Pallas does NOT use mold release compound in manufacturing. Since the records sound terrific already, I'm very glad that I won't have to clean them. Now, I'll have to purchase some more.

Dear Washline,

If it is of any reassurance, I have plenty of Pallas pressings and have experienced no static issues with the material at all, nor has there been any necessity to clean them.

They have been exemplary and results have been perfect every time.

Kind regards,

The reason I mention this is that for reasons best known to themselves you can get the odd disc that seems to magically materialise lint out of nowhere e.g. the HFN/RR Test Disc. I've owned 2 of the HFN/RR and they persistently do this despite being regularly zapped by Zerostat (the heavily modulated grooves probably don't help but I think there's more to it than that).

Deeply grooved Pallas discs are a shining beacon of good behaviour by comparison, even at low humidity values of 40%. You literally won't see any lint, just as would happen with a freshly RCM-ed LP.

Hope this helps ;^)
