probably not that big of a diff. i do know heavier vinyl and higher speed makes for a better sounding album. Like the new metallica remasters on 4 lp 45rpm sets. IMO they sound better than the cd. But i also have a pretty nice shure cartridge and stylus on a externally damped O/S kenwood TT that i used to have in the other room with extra long patch cables so i could crank it up with no platter rumble. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif So most any record sounds great.
