We have found a new way to bring vinyl fans even closer to the original recording. Our DMM lathe cuts the audio into a copper plated steel disc. We normally use this process to create a 14" DMM-Master that is sent to pressing plants for the production of vinyl records. 

Our new DMM-Dubplate however, is about the same size as a 12" vinyl record *. This makes it possible to play it on any record player and helps you bypass the loss in sound quality that is caused by the additional steps in the production of records, such as galvanic processes and the pressing of the vinyl. 

The DMM-Dubplate avoids issues like pre-echos and crackling noises. The high purity phosphate-copper has very little groove noise and clicking noises are seldom. Only one side of a DMM disc is recordable since the backside is not copper plated. The tracking force of the tonearm can be left as is.

Free delivery - except overseas!

* The DMM Dubplate has a diameter of 320 mm; so its radius is 10 mm larger than a vinyl record. If you have a tangential tonearm, please check if the tonearm has enough clearance before ordering the Dubplate.

Weightlessly light, yet grounded: that’s how the music on the new album from Bassface Swing Trio sounds. For this session they invited Bruno Müller, one of Germany’s most renowned jazz guitarists, and it was worth it! Because Müller is a perfect fit for the swing trio with his warm guitar sound.

The fact that they recorded these tracks live through an analog chain with the Neumann VMS-82 lathe cutting a DMM-Matrix in real-time shows at what a high-level these musicians are playing. Direct-To-Disc: honest music with no safety net and no ground. The listeners experience a maximally authentic reproduction of the sounds of the instruments as the musicians elevate swing-standards into the sphere of timeless beauty.

"The idea to re-release 'Win or Lose' on Stockfisch Records came from Günter Pauler after I had sent him the original master-tape that I had found amongst my archive material. I thought he might be interested, mainly because the original quality of recording was so good. Furthermore, it fell within the parameters of quality that Stockfisch demand from all of their recordings, so we decided to go ahead with the idea, releasing it on the 'Analog Pearls' series.

It is almost forty years since that original recording, and although much has changed as regards recording techniques and equipment, I hope the songs have stood the test of time, and you, the listener, will enjoy the result." Allan Taylor, 2020

"Rediscovering the tapes of this production after such a long time brought back memories
of how I first met Chris Jones: it was thanks to Charlie Carr, at that time working at an
army-shop in Southern Germany, who acquired for me a Crown DC-300 - the sensational
power amplifier of that time. As a way of thanking him, I offered him to do a recording at our
studio. Charlie was thrilled and brought Chris Jones with him, who was to accompany
him during the recording sessions. Thus began our wonderful musical journey with Chris
Jones."
Günter Pauler, 2019

"No matter what type of popular music you listen to today, almost every style has its roots
in the "Oldies" - the rock'n'roll of the '50s. There's something about the music of this
era that remains great even in the '80s. We tried to recreate these songs in such a way
as to bring back memories for those of you who still remember them, as well as to offer
something fresh and exciting for those of you who have never heard them before. I think
you will agree with us that "Oldies" never die."
Craig Hadden, 1980

The first concert/movie recording from the "Bürgersaal" Northeim - wall to wall next to the Stockfisch studio. On May 18, 2016, Allan Taylor performed in the "Bürgersaal" for the first time, the concert was quickly sold out and some of the guests were partly from far away - they came from Schleswig-Holstein, Berlin, Braunschweig, Frankfurt and even from Hungary and the Netherlands. A wonderful evening with the great songs of this artist, who has been traveling around the world for over half a century with his guitar, his stories and songs. The man, whose voice is so incomparably warm and deep, whose guitar playing is so puristic, yet so full and expressive, and whose wonderfully simple lyrics base always on deep thoughts and a touch of melancholy.

Passionate music lovers have been searching for quite a while now for ways to compare digital audio-formats. Up to now, it’s been pretty difficult to find recordings from the same source made under standardized conditions using the same, reproducible technology in five different formats.

16 bit / 44.1 kHz (CD-Audio)
24 bit / 96 kHz
24 bit / 192 kHz
1 bit / 2.8224 MHz (DSD 64 = SACD)
1 bit / 5.6448 MHz (DSD 128)

For each recording, we have created a graphic protocol using the audio-analysis tool „musicscope“. This protocol illustrates all relevant audio parameters. We hope that you can gain interesting insights through our listening comparison: TRUST YOUR EARS!

Stockfisch publishes these 10 audio files on an USB flash drive. The user will be able to play the files directly from the drive by plugging it into an appropriate Digital-Audio-Player. Or the soundfiles can be transferred to a system fitted with an audiophile HiRes-Software-Player.
