Re: Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsies 140 or 200 grams

Hi Freddo,
one thing is important on 200 grams records, acording to last Stereophile Michael Fremer's analog corner:
....."Most LP's aren't flat. ......(Classic record's 200 grams SV-P lipless "flat records" are the only ones that I knows of whose grooves areas are perfectly level with lips and label areas)....
He explain that common records has mechanics problems due to they have not has flat surfaces, etc.
So, 200 grams could be a little better, than the exact sample of a 140 grams, but the question is, with this mechanic problems solved, are this difference quite audible or is just very very slightly better?
Thanks for the input.
