 Here are a few comments from reviewers and clients:

Reissue producer Steve Hoffman had this to say about Kevin Gray and AcousTech:

 “Kevin is the guy who knows everything,” Hoffman said. “He knows what to do, and he’s made sure that his room is absolutely state-of-the-art. And I don’t mean that in an audiophile sort of way. I mean that everything is neutral in there. The sound is neutral. The tonality of his cutting lathe is neutral. And that’s what we need because we feed into the system what we want the music to sound like, and that’s what it ends up like. When you listen to the Creedence LPs you hear that it sounds pretty damned close to the master tapes, and that’s what I wanted. I don’t think I could have done that anywhere else, and I wouldn’t have wanted to do it anywhere else.”

Michael Fremer, Senior Contributing Editor, Stereophile,  and Music Editor, Listener had this to say:  “This is as close to listening to a master tape as I've heard from vinyl--not hyperbole... …Based on this, I think Kevin  has put together the best sounding lathe/cutting set-up I've heard yet.”

Richard Foster,  editor of the Phonogram Newsletter had this to say about the AcousTech mastered reissue of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon":
In my opinion, in every way this new release is superior. Period. The biggest thing I immediately noticed was the CLARITY. Openness, clarity, transients, clarity, punch, clarity, bass (not overwhelming..it just sounds right) oh...and did I mention clarity? Bells, breathing, cash register, it's just terrific. ...Based upon what I am hearing (this is the 3rd time I've played it) it's definitely now my preferred pressing....and there is no doubt anyone who likes this classic album, will want a copy.
