I'm listening to Van Halen's first album on 180 gram vinyl right now and it's sounding better than ever. I've heard good and bad 180 gram pressings and the same goes for 120 gram pressings. I will agree that many new pressings in general seem to have a lot of defects.
180 gram vinyl vs First Pressing used
Just wondering if any one out there has problems with new 180 gram vinyl pressing of classic albums. The vinyl is thicker but the quality is just not there on a lot of the albums I’ve bought most through Amazon. They skip have surface noise are not really flat. I’m at a point I had rather have a VG+ first pressing than a new 180 gram pressing. Just wanted to know if any one else has problems with 180 gram vinyl.
