I highly doubt the color of the vinyl really does anything for the quality.

Black vinyl is the least noisy, but unless you have some insane audiophile system the difference between black/clear/colored is negligible. Pic discs, though, tend to have noticeably lower quality.

It's a 3d printed record! Granted, the fidelity is the equivalent of an 11kbps mp3, but it still represents at least part of the future of the vinyl format.

Any of you guys have any experience with lathe-cut records? It's rather rare to see them now, but interested to see if you guys had any in a collection somewhere. I'm thinking of getting some cut for my stoner/doom band on the cheap. Sources say they have incredible low end but distort (in a charming way) on the high end.

The only lathe cut I have or have heard is the Monarque "Vigor Mortis" 8", which sounds fine to me. On the other hand, maybe it sounds fine because it's lo-fi Quebecois black metal anyway. The sound is a little thin which I always chalked up to it having the weight of a flexi. The real issue with lathe cuts as I understand it is that they only hold up for 50-100 plays before the grooves are worn out.
