It's just a ploy to get you to part with more of your hard earned cash.
The "label" tends to be a better indicator of the quality of a recording - not the thickness of the vinyl.
I've had expensive150gm vinyl that had metal shards from the master embedded in the surface.
I've had 180 and 200 gram pressings more warped than my 35 year old standard thickness albums
Most of my standard Deutsche Grammaphon pressings outperform many of my 180 gm albums.
Sometimes the quality of the recording is superb, but the actual pressing is sub-par. But a poorly engineered recording is just plain BAD
Perhaps we should list all the good labels?
Here's a Couple
- Sheffield Labs
- Jeton
- Deutsche Grammaphon
Any More?....
