By reducing the weight, you make compromises. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/vinyl-pressing\">best vinyl pressings<\/a> are on the heavier end of the weight spectrum. A 180-gram pressing won\u2019t magically make bad mixing and mastering sound good.<\/p>\r\n<p>The benefits they do offer include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>They last longer and resist breakages far better than lighter vinyl.<\/li>\r\n<li>They resist warping due to the heavier weight. Warped records often cause distortion or even make the stylus skip.<\/li>\r\n<li>Heavier vinyl is more stable. This helps the stylus and cantilever suspension to stay stable and prevent vibration and noise that you don\u2019t want.<\/li>\r\n<li>Due to the added stability and more robust, well-made grooves, 180-gram records have a superior sound to 140 grams.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>When you are looking for vinyl record pressing, consider if your listeners or your bandmates will be happy with a lower weight, or whether it is worth the extra cost to produce 180 gram.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"a-difference-you-can-feel\"><\/span>A Difference You Can Feel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-32757\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/A-Difference-You-Can-Feel.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/A-Difference-You-Can-Feel.jpeg 460w, https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/A-Difference-You-Can-Feel-300x124.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>People who buy a lot of vinyl records can feel the difference between lightweight vinyl and heavier records. 40 grams difference doesn\u2019t seem a lot, but it is almost 30% heavier.<\/p>\r\n<p>If you hold a lot of records, you\u2019ll know when you\u2019re holding a heavier record. Why does this matter? It\u2019s an indicator of quality. In a record store, it might encourage someone to buy your record over another.<\/p>\r\n<p>People might weigh the record, and most audiophiles agree that 180-gram records are the best format, far better than 140-gram models. Michael Fremer, speaking in a NY Times article on \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2012\/05\/31\/technology\/personaltech\/the-secrets-of-a-high-quality-vinyl-record.html\">The Secrets of a High-Quality Vinyl Record<\/a>\u201d spoke about how vinyl weight can play a part in the sound. \u201cThey released Nirvana on 180-gram blue and it\u2019s unbelievable.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"virgin-vinyl-or-recycled-vinyl\"><\/span>Virgin Vinyl or Recycled Vinyl?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Records that don\u2019t sell, or that are warped or damaged, can be recycled. When everyone would use an LP record as their main way of listening to music, record companies and record stores were encouraged to send unsold vinyl back to be recycled.

The record is its first use.<\/p>\r\n<p>Recycled vinyl is likely to have more imperfections. Grit and gristle might have got in when recycling. Some people even claim that labels aren\u2019t properly removed when some vinyl is recycled.<\/p>\r\n<p>You might end up with a bit of an old 70\u2019s disco record causing imperfections on your brand new record. Even a slight imperfection can negatively impact the sound.<\/p>\r\n<p>People can tell whether a record has been recycled or not, just by looking. Recycled vinyl records have more of a dull grey look to them.<\/p>\r\n<p>Recycled vinyl is another area that divides opinion. It doesn\u2019t automatically mean that the record will sound bad. However, using virgin vinyl is definitely a sign to customers that you\u2019ve prioritized the audio quality and clarity.<\/p>\r\n<p>For the best vinyl record pressing, using brand new vinyl is the safest option.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"picture-discs-%e2%80%93-the-enemy-of-sound-quality\"><\/span>Picture Discs &#8211; The Enemy of Sound Quality?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/vinyl-picture-discs-300x300.png\" alt=\"vinyl-picture-discs\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Part of the appeal of vinyl is the way it looks and feels. Picture discs appeal to many collectors. Some people love the way they look, others prefer the plain black vinyl. Music fans rarely universally agree on anything.<\/p>\r\n<p>The manufacturing of a picture disc uses the same vinyl as the base. On top of this, there is a printed picture, sealed in place by Polyethylene Foil. This means multiple materials stacked up, rather than pure vinyl. The result is that there is more surface noise.<\/p>\r\n<p>The grooves may not be as deep, and the sound quality can suffer. There is still a market for picture disc vinyl. They shouldn\u2019t be totally discounted, and a good vinyl pressing company can still do a good job on them. It just might not sound quite as good as pure vinyl.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Some records still sound surprisingly crisp and clear when printed as picture discs. As we\u2019ve already mentioned, there are more important things, such as starting with a well-mixed and well-mastered audio file to start with.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"other-indicators-of-good-quality-vinyl\"><\/span>Other Indicators of Good Quality Vinyl<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-31231\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/33-rpm-vinyl-record-1024x528.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/33-rpm-vinyl-record-1024x528.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/33-rpm-vinyl-record-300x155.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/33-rpm-vinyl-record-768x396.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/33-rpm-vinyl-record.jpg 1238w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Though it\u2019s hard to be completely certain, there are other telltale signs of quality vinyl. 45 r.p.m playback speeds tend to be better, in the same way, that faster tape speeds are better. This is represented in the price, too. 45\u2019s are often more expensive than 33 \u2153 r.p.m records.<\/p>\r\n<p>If a vinyl record is pressed \u201cfrom the original analog master\u201d this can be another great sign that it is going to sound good on vinyl. It hasn\u2019t been through the digital processing that doesn\u2019t always translate to vinyl. It\u2019s always a good idea to check out vinyl pressing companies and their track record using Discogs and similar websites and tools.<\/p>\r\n<p>Vinyl lovers are fanatical, and will often use sites like Discogs to share their respect for a certain pressing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p>So much goes into the production of a vinyl record.
