Tho a bunch of 78's my grandparents have are cut on vinyl thats such high grain that it feels like metal... and they are only 7" disks, but they must weigh at least as much as 4 or 5 normal records pressed today... amazing.

Cool. Thanks a lot for the info. That's really interesting.

The difference in quality is so inconsequential....

Same here

Those are probobly shellac and not vinyl. It is much heavier and more brittle, therefore more fragile.
