Default Vinyl to CD on a PC

No we were originally discussing why it is worth while to transfer LPs
to digital. The comment that started the debate was that the only
reason to do so is if an LP is not available on CD. Clearly if one
cares about sound quality there are other reasons.


Previously you almost admitted the truth that vinyl can only sound better
than CD if the mastering of that CD was poor.

So program material is very much the issue.


So logically transferring a pristine LP to CD (without any 'mastering')
gives the best of both worlds - the distortions of the LP without the wear
problems.
