Heavy Weight Vinyl

All records are mastered to a standard and this is the same standard for lighter and heavier vinyl. We offer heavier vinyl for 12″ (180g vs. 140g) and 7″ (70g vs. 40g) as it is less prone to warping and more stable during playback, so many of our clients prefer the thicker, weightier feel of heavy vinyl.

When a record is mastered for heavy vinyl, you can theoretically achieve extra groove depth, which is said to make a difference especially for dynamic and volume rich sound. In reality, when you cut into thicker material you still need to be within the standard for the record to be playable and that is pretty much the same for any weight of 100g plus on a 12″, and the sound that you get is eventually more down to the skills of the engineers than the extra thickness.
