Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

Don't think 180g conveys *any* benefits.

It doesn't seem more resistant to warping in my experience. And when they do warp, the 180g records are harder to flatten.

Some of the best sounding records I've heard are thin, floppy RCA red seals... so I don't think there's any sonic benefit, either.

Perhaps 180g vinyl is just the record industry trying to find a tangible way to justify charging higher prices for "audiophile" records. Personally I would rather manufacturers stick with standard thickness records and shave a little off those seemingly-excessive audiophile prices.
