Oh, I bet. That wasn't covered in the story. But they were talking about small US pressing plants expecting to go out of business within 10 years and don't see any other alternative. They can't compete with GZ when it comes to pricing and output.

Because we once again have more than enough capacity to press vinyl, the industry is moving away from who is available to who is the cheapest.

I wonder how Trump's tariffs will impact the importing from Czech Republic then.

It also sounded like GZ is in the business of making their own vinyl as in the material for pressing, and pressing equipment.

It's also interesting that many pressing plants are buying old GZ equipment to press their vinyls.

This was my thought as the doomsayer was saying ten years would finish off American printers. It was also the guy at United. I’m sure it is more than just Nashville Press hurting them.

Reshore those shitty pressing jobs. Americans can press shitty vinyl just as good as a dirty furener

To be fair, I'm a weirdo. For example, I know video reviews of albums have become super common, but I refuse to watch them because they take way too long to get through, so if I'm wanting reviews I read them from sites that write them. If someone shares a video of someone's 20-minute talk that looks interesting, I see if that person has written an article or book (to actually have the supported arguments and data for the points made in the shorter talk version) and read that instead...

This either is not that weird or perhaps I too am a weirdo. I can’t stand video reviews. I much prefer the written word and would rather jam a fork in eye than watch some schmohawk talk for 20 minutes about something I could read in 2.
