180 gram?

I thought the idea behind thicker pressings was less resonant? It is a shame when you purchase a thicker lp and it comes in warped, which happens a lot. I'll have to say that quite a few of my best sounding lps are the thin sort, some are almost like "dynaflex" thin.

I would not replace an older, good-sounding pressing with a 180-gram pressing just for the weight. The quality of any record depends on many factors and weight is only one. I wouldn't even think about it.

While RL certainly stands for Robert Ludwig,he is not a recording engineer.He is a mastering engineer.Sterling does not press records they are a mastering service.

1->same record
