There are only a few CD mastering facilities in the world with the experience and technical chops suited for remastering some of the most important records in rock 'n roll history. Arf! Mastering was chosen from this select group by Koch for their Kinks SACD reissue series.   Koch's decision to use Arf! paid off with high praise from reviewers and customers alike. 

Arf! stays ahead of the pack. We were the first in New York City to offer the Weiss Linear Phase EQ, the revolutionary Algorithmix ReNOVAtor, and Manhattan's only Legendary Audio Masterpiece analog mastering sytem designed by Rupert Neve (Manhattan's First Masterpiece.)  The Weiss EQ and dynamics units, the Neve Masterpiece, Lavry Gold A/D and Gold D/A converters are just a few of the best-in-class pieces that set us apart and keep our signal chain competitive with the best facilities anywhere in the world.  Full FTP service is provided for long-distance mastering. All work is guaranteed.
