Heaver grade vinyl vs Standard

At least when you buy 180g or 200g there are, in most cases, 2 albums instead of 1 to show for your money. The marketing Einsteins break up 1 good album into 4 sides so we get more for our $30-$50.

Thanks guys.

Of course you have to get up every 11 minutes to change the awful recording which is either full of pops/clicks or warped like a bad pancake.

And the pigs keep feeding at the trough.

Agreed. I have noticed absolutely no benefit to 180 & 200 gm vinyl whatsoever. I find these records to be (for the most part) dull and rather lifeless compared to a great pressing from the 50's-70's.

This situation is absolutely ridiculous. We live a time of vinyl revival with the best analog gear ever built. The software actualy on the market is much inferior than on golden era of vinyl, even with the best mastering facilities. So why not writing a huge PETITION and send it to all the actual vinyl industries ? Everyone concerned by this problem agrees but nothing is done to solve it.

Here's an idea:

Stop buying that crap. I haven't bought any new vinyl in almost 3 years.

The manufacturers will understand if enough folks send the message.

Heavier weight means the record should be more durable and be less susceptible to warping over time. Heavier weight is probably a general indicator of a higher quality product, but assuming no warping otherwise, sound quality will be determined more by other factors on a case by case basis.

In general, I think heavier weight vinyl in new issues is designed to appeal to the target market of vinyl affectionados that will appreciate a more heavy weight product and be willing to pay for it. But there is probably a good chance that on a case by case basis, standard issue vinyl recordings from yesteryear that were made in the time when records ruled for most may sound as good or better.
