180 gram?


If is topic has been discussed before, I apologize.
Back into vinyl after 20-25 years. These 180 gram albums are totally new to me.
Are they worth the additional cost, do they actually sound better or are they just thicker resulting in less warping?

Lots of discussion if you do a search. Consensus seems to be that it's highly variable due to differences in QA/QC, provenance of the master, vinyl formula, etc, etc. A member with a lot of knowledge about polymers posted recently that one could even make an argument that the thicker LPs are MORE likely to warp.
