The Archive Collection of the PSL — Expert Series

A curated gallery of premium music programs with exceptional sound quality, suitable for stereo systems of any level of complexity.

A Unique Copying Speed for the Prepared Phonogram

— DSE/PSL does not copy data and does not optimize the format
— DSE/PSL fixes the result as a temporal event
— An event cannot be transferred: it either occurs or it does not
— CD-DA is the only form of its fixation

Playback Recommendation:
For optimal playback accuracy, the «Direct» or «Pure Direct» mode (if available) on your amplifier is recommended

The use of this marking method on the disc surface is considered acceptable, as it provides stable product identification, preserves the link to the production record, and does not affect the physical properties of the disc’s working area.

Sound is treated as a document of acoustic reality.
Acoustic precision is the principle of reproduction.
Listening is the starting point of precision.
