I dunno....My 200gr 45rpm Counting Crows 2LP sounds pretty good & I have a pretty good setup as
Thats because the CC record was a terrific masterung and pressing job. I was just relaying that just because a record is heavy doesnt make it better than a traditional thin one.
I got ID - 34g Not for you - 33g Who you are - 33g Wishlist - 33g '99 xmas single - 37g Olympic Platinum- 38g 99 problems - 49g
doesnt seem to be much of a difference from the other singles, but the xmas singles seem a bit heavier. But as my fiance said as i was sitting on the living room floor weighing 45s: "do they still play?, do they sound good?, then who gives a fuck?"

Do I ever talk about weight ????
i told you they are thin.
That's basically the same thing with vinyl, no?

For a small 7", I don't think so, for a 12" for sure
On a 7" vinyl, weights are quite the same (see the post from our friend who weights them all), and the weight is concentrate mainly on the center parts, not a vinyl part .. the % of vinyl is very small on a 7" if you compare it to the total weight (here excuse my english, difficult to explain, but you see what I'm saying)
A lot of 7 inch singles can be thin, never noticed any degrade in sound quality on anything in particular but a thick vinyl is always a bit steadier on the turntable and a bit more rebust. Thin ones can bend and snap quite easy but only if you mistreat them. Ive also bought some RSD 7 inch singles in the past few years that seem incredibly thick and a bit over the top.
@FR181798 : right, but some of your (or mine) vinyls which are new, are already bend, even if we took care of them, just take a look at them when they spin ...
What I find incredible, is that there's many folks here who know a lot about vinyls (I just have to read this thread here to notice that) but nobody have ever experienced or ever read about grooves destructions on poor vinyl records after a few spins ...
Thick or thin, I'm still kicking myself for not purchasing Sevens when I had the chance!!!
yeah $400 for this makes me jealous too. other than that i would have still passed cause i can listen to the full vinyl without getting up every song to flip. PJ merch is a drug
Hamilton 9-13-05; Toronto 5-9-06, Toronto 8-21-09, Toronto 9-12-11, Hamilton 9-15-11....
Whether these were pressed into 30 grams or 300 grams of vinyl, the groove depth and quality still come from the master. The amount of material between sides is irrelevant to the quality of the sound.
I will guarantee you that you will not notice the diff in sound on these between the original spin and the 10th spin, or many times after for that matter.
And so you see, I have come to doubt All that I once held as true I stand alone without beliefs The only truth I know is you.

Maybe your cartridge needs replacing??? Too heavy? Or your stylus? Or maybe your counterweight isn't set properly? :-/ I've seriously never heard of such easy destruction of vinyl just from spinning it a few times. But again, I'm just talking about what I've experienced or heard myself..... It just sounds weird. I have trouble believing that the Sevens set is going to be torn apart by my stylus.

I feel bad for those whose ears make it miserable for them to enjoy music if not played on just the right format with just the right weight at just the right speed. Some may think it is a gift, but to me it would be an expensive, inconvenient nuisance.
it was just a post to say that records are this time way to thin for us to keep them in great condition over the years...
people start to speak about weight, 180g records, other formats available etc.
I know what i'm talking about, and I just wanted to point out something ... but if everyone is OK with the fact that over the years products are less and less wellproducted, OK "i'm super cool, i love vinyl and i'm even cooooleeerrr if I say that i don't give a f... about the quality" ...hum hum...

That is a pretty snotty comment.
