Background on Clarity Vinyl Pressings

In 2008, Classic discovered that demagnetizing black vinyl records leads to better sound in playback.  The

engineers at Furutech in Japan, makers of a commercial record demag machine, explained that the carbon black 

that was added to PVC record pellets contained trace metal that became randomly magnetized and while spinning 

below an electro-mechanical transducer (phono cartridge) caused electrical distortion inside a cartridge during LP 

playback.  Hence, demagnetizing a black vinyl record dramatically reduces the electrical distortion and leads to 

more "Clarity" in playback.  Michael Hobson, founder of Classic Records reasoned that if the carbon black were 

removed then the result should be more Clarity in playback.  Working closely with the PVC manufacturer Kenan, 

Classic developed its own proprietary "Clarity Vinyl" devoid of the problems with trace magnetic particles contained

in black vinyl formulas.  Clarity Vinyl represents the ultimate in vinyl formulations because it is comprised of over

90% percentage of the highest quality co-polymer available - a key component in vinyl pellets used for

manufacturing vinyl records.  Further, Clarity Vinyl has no carbon black additive, common in vinyl formulas for

LP’s.  Carbon Black contains trace metals that become magnetized and cause “electrical distortions” in cartridges

during playback that smears the sound. By taking out the Carbon Black, Classic Records is able to dramatically

reduce the “electrical distortions” and thus bring more “Clarity” to the playback process, providing a more realistic

musical experience to the listener and LP enthusiast.A Clarity vinyl pressing on a flat profile die is the absolute

ultimate pressing possible and even a step above the JVC UHQR black vinyl pressings.
