chamb117 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 haha The Wonder Years have a broad fan base though. So for many people like me, this is just one genre of many that we listen to. 180g black makes a big difference at least on the records I have... are you, uhhhh, are you saying the color actually makes a difference?

chamb117 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 not gonna lie, i'm surprised hopeless heeded our calls for a double LP. wonder if they got enough sour emails about it for them to take action. ordered from amazon for that priiiiiiiime free shipping!

smeepo Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Didn't the band consult Hopeless and say that they didn't want the album repressed unless it was pressed on 2xLP? I think someone said that in this thread... credibility unknown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woah_dood49 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 are you, uhhhh, are you saying the color actually makes a difference? No, it's the 180g weight and how it was pressed. Color doesn't mean anything but I have a feeling you already know that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 No, it's the 180g weight and how it was pressed. Color doesn't mean anything but I have a feeling you already know that Color can have some implications especially with hazes and split colors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 color is probably moreso in sound quality than weight also i ordered from amazon at least for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 the weight doesn't mean anything either Heavier weight tends to have deeper grooves which produce better sound. They are also thicker so they tend to not warp as much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheriver Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Heavier weight tends to have deeper grooves which produce better sound. They are also thicker so they tend to not warp as much Whether you have your record pressed on standard weight vinyl or heavyweight, the pressing will use the same vinyl compound. It is the quality of the compound that determines the noise level in the pressing. The depth of the grooves will be determined at mastering stage by the cutting engineer, and the plant have no control over this during the galvanic processing.
