A REQUEST FOR
THE NEXT TRIBUTE TO VINYL?

WE ONLY DO TRACKS/VERSIONS NOT CLEARLY AVAILABLE ON CD
AND PREFER OLD DISCO/DANCE RELATED

Your entry suddenly disappeared from the list? This means:
  • The track/version you added has been encoded by us before! If you're lucky it's still available from the huge archive: CLICK HERE FOR FTP instructions
  • The track/version you added is WIDELY AVAILABLE ON CD.
    You can check this at cd-Europe, amazon or cd-links
  • We simply don't like or don't have the track you entered! Sometimes we search in local record stores and look for the requested vinyl. If we find it you're lucky ;-)
  • Somewhere during the last week of each month we pick the top voted track to encode, this entry logically disappears from the list. Previous votes on other entries are added (we never reset the vote-count).

    This is how we party :
    For this purpose we have a special bypass-connection in 1 of our studios, using a dedicated luxman RIAA amp ( MM SN-ratio 92dB, response 10Hz~22kHz within 0.4 dB, THD 0.01 % ) to achieve the highest possible quality without any loss or additional noise or hum. A fresh Nagaoka needle is used on our best record-player, with 2grams needlepressure on cleaned vinyl (although most vinyl-damage can't be undone...) Pure vinyl audio then goes to the analog inputs on a Gina24, and after checking and normalizing the WAV, it's being encoded using L.A.M.E. to a High Quality VBR MPEG Layer 3 audiofile. In case ticks from the vinyl are really too heavy we might repair the wav-file a little first, but we like to keep it as original a copy as possible, including drop-outs and other sounds that were in there.

    Enjoy !
    (and definitely try them on headphones! ;-)
