Should I avoid thick vinyl?


My TT arm does not have adjustabe VTA. Should I avoid 200 gram (ie thick) lps?

IMHO, thickness has little to do with the quality of a LP. I have many great
sounding 200gm, as well as 120gm and any weight in between. I also have
many poor sounding LPs in all weights and thicknesses.

If a LP is carefully mastered, it will sound great even VTA is a little off. On the
other hand, if a LP is poorly mastered, no VTA adjustment can fix that.
