On lacquers which he cut, his JE initials often (but not always) appear with NRP following it, but also appeared on pressings from [l238322]. After his time at NRP, Eberle launched his own business, [l688700], which he ran himself. In 2014 Eberle completely retired from mastering as his health declined.
