I too would like to see those vinyl prices come down.

And frankly, I'm not convinced that 180 gram is all that necessary. I think you can make a quality recording without the extra weight. But for better or worse, it's a trend that seems to have turned into common practice now in the LP pressing business.

But I'd really like to see the industry going back to a middle weight that doesn't cost the consumer so much. It's one reason I haven't bought an LP in months and months. I got tired of shelling out 18-20 bucks for things that really shouldn't cost me more than 10 or 12.
