The One-Step Features and Method:

The master lacquer is cut directly from the final analogue (or high-resolution digital) master.

A single metal stamper is created directly from the lacquer.

That stamper is used immediately to press records.

That’s it- just one step between the music and your turntable.

By bypassing the Father and Mother stages, the 1-STEP process preserves the most direct signal path from the source to the groove in LP Record.

The Sonic Benefits of the 1-STEP Process: For serious listeners and collectors, the sonic differences are not just subtle-they're transformative.

1. Greater Clarity and Detail

With fewer mechanical transfers, there’s less signal degradation. The result?

Richer textures

More lifelike vocals

Cleaner highs and deeper lows

2. Lower Surface Noise

The 1STEP process results in quieter backgrounds, allowing instruments to bloom naturally. You’ll hear subtle ambiance and micro-details that often get lost in standard pressings.

3. Superior Groove Fidelity

Because the lacquer feeds directly into the pressing process, there’s less groove distortion, especially toward the inner grooves where quality can often diminish.

4. Enhanced Dynamics

Expect wider dynamic range-softer pianissimos, more explosive crescendos, and the kind of “in-the-room” presence audiophiles crave.

The One-STEP process is not designed for mass production. Since the stamper comes directly from the lacquer, there’s a limit to how many records can be pressed before quality begins to degrade. Once the stamper wears out, that’s it. No reissues. No represses. That scarcity, combined with unmatched sound, makes 1STEP vinyl highly collectible.

The One-STEP LP Record releases are not just albums-they’re artifacts of musical excellence.

About AudioNautes Recordings

The name Audionautes Recordings will almost certainly be familiar to trade show enthusiasts from the HIGH END in Munich: For many years, Fabio Camorani’s company (as well as Camorani’s second technology company AudioNemesis, which he runs together with Giuseppe Intorrella) has been one of the regulars at Europe’s leading hi-fi show. However, AudioNautes has long since become synonymous not only with first-class amplifiers, turntables and loudspeakers with insider tip status, but also, with its subsidiary AudioNautes Recordings (ANR), with selected records of the highest quality.
