Richmond, Indiana, February 19, 1996 - Miller & Kreisel (M&K), a leading audiophile record label and high-end loudspeaker manufacturer from Culver City, California, has been replicating their compact discs with the Sanyo-Verbatim CD Company since the early 1980's. "Miller & Kreisel is actually the first American record company to release compact disks and we began pressing with Sanyo-Verbatim CD Company from very early on, we pressed at Sanyo's original CD plant in Japan, one of the world's first CD pressing facilities" remarks Ken Kreisel, President of the record company and high-end speaker manufacturer. "We are in the audiophile record business, where our clients demand the very highest levels of quality. One example of this is our use of real 24 karat gold CDs with 20 bit mastering on a recent project (audiophiles feel the use of 24 karat gold results in superior audio quality). We've entrusted Sanyo-Verbatim CD Company to press our first such series done in gold."
"Sanyo-Verbatim CD Company has always offered exceptional service for all of our needs," continues Kreisel. "They give us fast turnaround whenever we need it and their other services like mastering and printing are superb. Mr. Hideo Nakai, Sanyo-Verbatim CD Company's Chief Administrative Officer and Senior Vice President, has been really fabulous in terms of service and going above and beyond the call of duty whenever we need anything special."
"We utilize the Sanyo-Verbatim CD Company for both of our audiophile labels: RealTime and Perpetua. The labels are marketed by our loudspeaker company, Miller & Kreisel Sound Corporation (M&K); through our retail dealers as well as directly to the end user through order forms which we enclose with all of our speaker systems. Fortunately for us, Sanyo-Verbatim CD Company's mastering has always been perfect and also very quick. We're a very technically-oriented company and quality, not price, is of utmost importance. From a performance standpoint, Sanyo-Verbatim CD Company has really done superb pressings from day one. It is a very quality minded company."
"One great example of how Sanyo-Verbatim CD Company works with its clients is the many different alternatives that they offer clients for both packaging and CD label printing. Presently, we are working on some special projects that require a different look, something other than a jewel box package. Our audiophile customers demand that little extra-something that the Sanyo-Verbatim CD Company has always been able to deliver."
