"...one listener achieving a perfect score..." 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.

Lukas and Andrew Lipinski
 
   

"Lipinski Sound Corporation was founded in 2003 in Bethesda, Maryland, USA (greater Washington DC), by Andrew Lipinski - a prime recording engineer/producer educated in Europe, based in the USA and professionally active around the globe.  The company was led by his son, Lukas Lipinski, an economist with an MBA who gained his 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), contributing to the rejection by the U.S. Congress crippled sound recording standard proposed by CBS, winning the battle with the likes of such as Quincy Jones. ("...one listener achieving a perfect score...""A score of 10 correct of 10 selections would be expected 1 out of 1000 times")

Lipinski Sound is not “another manufacturer”.  Motivations to manufacture the perfect equipment shall not result far from the commercial ambitions of the company, but the real need for unique equipment for their own recordings, directed by Andrew Lipinski.  He is the author of many phenomenal stereo and surround recordings.  His recording of "Credo" by K. Penderecki was on the list of 75 greatest recordings ever published in the U.S. magazine "Stereophile".

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 famous Third Symphony, the only recording conducted by the composer himself, was the official gift of the Polish Government during the celebrations of 20th anniversary of Solidarity and the 75th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II.
 
Lipinski Sound in only three years has gained a worldwide reputation and built a recognizable brand by prominent professionals.  The initial review of the L-707 loudspeaker published by the "Pro Audio Review", and written by the famous audio engineer Bob Katz (former Chesky Records engineer) classified the speaker as better than the famous Wilson Watt/Puppys, Dunlavy SC-5’s or Eggleston Works.

Another review of the most prestigious American magazine audiophile - "Stereophile" confirmed this opinion, and L-707 speaker was listed on the “Recommended Components" in the highest "A" among a few speakers, some up to 5 times more expensive.  It was a unique distinction in the highly competitive U.S. market at the time, offering more than 2000 speaker models.

Subsequent reviews in the German press ("Studio") confirmed these opinions, and another German magazine "Production Partner" devoted to precise measurements and a discussion of L-707 speaker and subwoofer L-150, ten pages.

Soon after appeared a new product - Speaker L-505 which has been reviewed in the American magazine special edition of MIX in the evocatively titled "Who cares about quality."

In sequence the power amplifier L-301 was enthusiastically reviewed by Bob Katz's in "Pro Audio Review".  Also Lipinski Sound speakers were introduced as a reference tool to author’s book dedicated to mastering engineers - the most demanding ears in the record production chain.  The book has become a reference for the younger generation.

Research into new products, both audiophile and studio grade microphone preamps, and the L-408 had been recognized for quality, "PAR Excellence Award".
 
Many world-class studios began using Lipinski Sound products.  One of the most prestigious audiophile labels - "Mobile Fidelity" specialized in remastering world’s best recordings is using Lipinski Sound hardware as its reference.

Another giant - Dolby Laboratories in Tokyo and in Stockholm are using Lipinski Sound monitoring for their 5.1 and 7.1 surround.
Also THX laboratory issued a certificate for Lipinski Sound monitoring with the highest rating.

American finest musical institutions such as the Peabody, the Cleveland Institute of Music, Berkeley, and Mc Gill University in Canada have Lipinski Sound equipment.  In 2010 New York University opened $6.5 million studio complex designed by renowned acoustician John Storyk and decided to purchase the Lipinski Sound 10.2 system.
Also, currently built for 160 million Euro Sibelius Center in Helsinki after hearing the most renowned speakers have chosen to purchase a set of Lipinski Sound.

Another winner comes to Hollywood.  A newly built mastering complex by giant Universal, after listening to the world's best speakers decided to purchase Lipinski Sound Signature model.
Nearby Warner Brothers Mastering in Burbank have Lipinski Sound monitors.

For many years prior to the creation of Lipinski Sound, Andrew's "golden ear" talent was a creative force behind pro-audio equipment manufacturers such as Telefunken USA and Mytek Digital.  He has also consulted for High End audiophile companies.

In 2007 the company opened a branch in Warsaw, Poland as Lipinski Sound Sp. z o.o.
In 2012 the company offered 21 products and more than 10 new products waiting to implement into production.

Andrew Lipinski says:  “If we are not convinced that our next design will surpass everything on the market … we will not manufacture it.  Our background lies in perfection, and need for perfect tools to do our own reference recordings.  We critically evaluate the best equipment commercially available, cost-no-object.  When we feel we can do it better, we start our own design.  Only if this beats the competition, we eventually start manufacturing.  We do not manufacture products that are runners-up.  We only manufacture products that are cutting edge”.
