Since getting back into vinyl and having to start my collection from scratch, I find myself going straight to the 180 gram selections. I've bought some of the "regular" records with their thin vinyl, hills and valleys, and overall crummy performance, but I've been swayed by the perfectly flat and to my ears, better sounding thick discs. I don't even think twice about a record unless it says "180 gram." Is that wrong?!!!
Now getting back to something I mentioned above, I wouldn't think the thickness of a disc should make it sound different. Am I missing something? Surely the same record in different thicknesses only should sound the same. I'm not talking about 33 vs. 45, or MOFI vs. a regular pressing. It seems that some of the thinner discs that I've bought have more noise and tend to be harder to listen to than their thick cousins.
Are there others out there with this same disease?
