    If there were no issues about that and if no one before me and no audiophile had never talked about that before, I never would have tell you about that.

    Yeah, I gathered.... I was just saying that I hadn't. At any rate, I'm not planning on opening my Sevens yet, but if the result of the records being thin is what you are worried about please give us an update!

    Just wondering why anyone cares if they are thin. I haven't seen anyone say they sound bad, so who gives a shit?

    If you don't play them on a turntable, you don't give a shit, ok...
    If records are made to be played, well, take a look at them after a few spin...


    You think they are so thin that they'll wear out after a few spins?
    Well, when I read that, I can't believe you're a vinyl enthousiast...
    Many poorly pressed records have defaults after a few spin due to the cartridge if they are not enough hard. (i don't know how to explain it properly in english, excuse that...)
    If records are veru thin, it's worse.
    You would only notice a difference if you're using awful equipment like a Crosley or if you play this 500 times compared to a thicker version.

    Being thin doesnt make this a poor pressing. Soundwise it's a slight improvement over my regular 12"

    We all have just to compare our Benaroya LP and this Sevens boxset.

    same price, but one was really a true great gift to collectors and the other one is a poor record....

    They write the same price on it. That says a lot.

    sevens was more than benaroya hall
    Not if you take inflation into account.
    inflation wasn't part of either argument, but point taken

    Awesome statement picola.

    Are 180g 45's even made? Or ever made. I've got a bunch of 45's and all are thinner than regular vinyl. My dad has hundreds of 45's and all are pretty thin.

    Seriously-
    I have vinyl, some vinyl in the 80's was thinner than normal, but they sound great.
    I'm not sure the weight takes away from the sound quality at all.
    I've bought heavy vinyl that has been horrible....

    I think the only thing thickness relates to is the durability of the vinyl.

    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.

    To the average person, 140 gram is not inferior to 180 gram vinyl. Google it.

    I'm hoping the OP is so disappointed, he will contact me about selling it to me!
