Heavy Vinyl

@larsman 

Honestly I couldn't imagine reinterpreting John Fahey's work  , but the musicians who tackled his genius come away sounding like geniuses themselves .

Nobody has mentioned the 45rpm 4 lp single sided releases by Classic Records , I have one , David Crosby's " If I could Only Remember My Name " , yes it sounds more dynamic but why the single side .

Speakers Corner from Germany makes some excellent all-analogue re-issues that look completely authentic; I got their versions of BOC's 'Tyranny and Mutation' and 'Secret Treaties' and they are superb. They don't sell direct, though - you have to buy their titles through other audiophile music dealers.

Does it occur to anyone that a thicker LP would alter the VTA of the cartridge ?

@terraplanebob. That's probably the main reason people use VTA adjusters on their tonearms. Personally, I set my tonearm to an average between a standard pressing and 180g. Geometrically, the deviation in SRA from that average is very small across different records. In addition, SRA is changing dynamically in response to the modulation of the grooves and tracking warps.
