More often than not I find these claims i.e. 180 gr vinyl produces better sound and less noise to be completely baseless. Even more infuriating is the trend to re-issue vinyl from digital rather than analogue masters - the latest batch of Beatles releases for instance. I can't help but think it is all a cynical marketing ploy to keep LP prices higher than CD prices but when CD's were introduced they were much dearer than supposedly sub-standard LP's. My point is an old album from an analogue master is (nearly) always superior to new one from a digital source no matter how good the rest of the production is. Bells and whistles don't necessarily make a better product. Lee
