Right.. so all the more reason to take advantage of recording  
the conversion while the disc is at its cleanest and fresh out  
of packaging, I'd say.

I wonder if there are any audio samples from those scans and  
comparisons available for listening.

Anyway.. Now the catalog of material that is NOT already  
digitized by enterprising projects like Tidal and Spotify, make  
the process moot, and much less expensive for the end user.   
I'm surprised at how far back Spotify's catalog will reach.

It seems that the laser LP player arrived a bit too late.
