For me its the first or very early LP's of: Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South" Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer" and, Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
I keep seeing records rated at 180 grams now I see 200 grams, what does the gram rating signifies? Does the gram rating determines the quality of the sound reproduced by the record or something else?
The gram rating is just the volume/weight of PVC in a particular pressing. I have super light pressings that sound great. Theoretically, the heavier record, having greater mass will self damp resonances produced as the stylus navigates the grooves. SQ has more to do with using original tapes by a great mastering engineer through high quality electronically and a great vinyl formulation with quality pressing machines and knowledgeable technicians to run them.
