140G
Vinyl record thickness varies, but most 12-inch LPs range from 120 to 150 grams, while "audiophile" pressings are typically 180 grams or more to reduce warping and increase durability. The actual thickness can vary between approximately 0.9 mm and 2.2 mm depending on the manufacturer, era, and quality.
Standard vs. heavyweight vinyl
- Standard: Most vintage vinyl pressed in the 20th century weighs between 120 and 150 grams. These are generally less expensive to produce.
- Heavyweight: Thicker vinyl, with 180 grams being common, is often marketed as "audiophile-grade". Some modern pressings can weigh up to 200 grams or even more.
Benefits of heavier vinyl
- Durability and stability: Thicker vinyl is more resistant to warping and damage, and the heavier weight creates a more stable platform for the tonearm's stylus.
- Perceived quality: While sound quality is not necessarily improved (the mastering process is the primary factor), the extra weight and thickness give a perception of higher quality.
Considerations
- Mastering quality is more important: The sound quality of a record is primarily determined by the mastering process and source material, not the vinyl's weight.
- Warping: While heavier vinyl is less prone to warping, it can still happen during pressing or due to storage conditions.
- Static: Heavier records can sometimes build up more static electricity.
