Quiex...what exactly is this method of vinyl pressing?


I need some details on this.

Quiex is a vinyl formulation and as Dem states has been used on many promotional releases (the ones I know of are on the Geffen label)

There is a Quiex II and now a Quiex SV formulation (check out Classic Records on www.classicrecords.com)

The translucency has nothing to do with Quiex. Vinyl is translucent by nature and people just color it to varying degrees.
*virgin* vinyl is translucent. mfsl and quiex lp's were pressed on virgin vinyl. hold a mfsl lp up to a strong light source. you can see through it. now try the same with a "typical" pressing. you can't see through it 'cause it's made of inferior, not virgin, vinyl. this has nothing to do with "coloring." in fact, most colored records (not opaqely colored) are pressed on virgin vinyl. -cfb
Thanks, Vantageaudio, for the tip about Quiex SV on Classic Records. While Classic Records took their own sweet time sending my order, it was worth the wait. The sound quality of the Quiex SV recording was amazing. Even compared to other 180 gram recordings.
