@ Otis: weiß nicht, ob Dir das weiterhilft. Es ist ein Auszug der Beschreibung der remastered Edition von Muddy Waters „Folk Singer“, die 145 gramm wiegt.
„The pressing is mode an 145gr. Virgin Vinyl. We decided against 180gr. because quality has not been conclusively proved to be better. Except for perhaps pretending that the additional weight adds more value. (to explain: you probably own 80% or more records an 120/145gr Vinyl -so your tonearm (VTA) is adiusted for that weight. This would mean a readjustment every time you play a 180/200gr. record if you do not want to loose any sound quality. Besides this experts proved that 180gr. vinyl has no advantages over 120/145gr vinyl – no loss of resonaces, no more flatness or stability, even more detrimental, the 180/200gr. is more brittle and has more stress than it’s 120/145gr. counterpart. Also if warping occures 180/200gr. records are effecting permanently. The most important factor in determining sound quality an vinyl is „Virgin Vinyl“.“
