LIPINSKI SOUND - Key Persons
Lipinski Sound Corporation was founded in 2003 in Bethesda, Maryland, USA (the greater Washington DC area), by Andrew Lipinski - a prime recording engineer/producer educated in Europe, based in the United States, and professionally active around the globe. The company was led by his son, Lukas Lipinski, an economist, and MBA, with experience as an equity analyst on Wall Street.
Andrew Lipinski's perfect hearing abilities were recognized by the US National Bureau of Standards, where he was the only individual to achieve a perfect score on the listening evaluation of phonographic recordings (NBSIR 88-3725). His work contributed to the decision of the U.S. Congress to uphold quality standards for a unified listening code, in opposition to one proposed by then, CBS. Andrew Lipinski's only perfect score ("...one listener achieving a perfect score... A score of 10 correct of 10 selections would be expected 1 out of 1000 times"), superseded the valuation of audio contemporaries such as Quincy Jones.
Lipinski Sound is not "another manufacturer". Motivations to manufacture the perfect equipment result from a pragmatic need for unique equipment used during Andrew Lipinski's own reference recording sessions. Mr. Lipinski is the author of several renowned stereo and surround recordings, namely, his recording of "Credo" by K. Penderecki that was added to a list of seventy-five "greatest recordings of all time", by "Stereophile" magazine in the United States.
Andrew Lipinski is also the creator of a unique audiophile/bibliophile Blu-ray label - Lipinski Royal Fidelity. The label is sponsored by the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. The first record of H. M. Gorecki's Third Symphony, was the only recording of this famous work conducted by the composer himself. This recording was the official gift of the Polish Government during the 20 th anniversary celebrations of Solidarity, and the 75th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II.
