[QUOTE="VetNik, post: 1056271479, member: 7759"] I've said this lots of times before - but as someone who used to work as a production manager at a vinyl pressing plant - 180 gram weight somehow being "better sounding" is one of the biggest myths in audio there is. Contrary to common misconception groove depth is set during mastering - as long as the biscuit the record is pressed from is the minimum weight needed for good fill (easily achievable at 120 grams) then the weight of the record has absolutely no effect on this. Heavier records are indeed easier to make sure they are flat and stay that way - but this factor is easily achievable at weights of around 130 grams. The quality and care put into the mastering, pressing and plating has substantial more to do with the sound of a record than the weight of the record ever does. One thing though - pressing plants will sometimes put more effort into quality control of their heavier weights as they realize anyone ordering 180grams or above is looking for an "audiophile" oriented product. Anyway - I personally think that 140grams is more than enough to make a good record with.
