Even quite modest LP reproduction hardware can produce a very
persuasive sound - better than digital counterparts on occasion IMO.


And of course that 'very persuasive sound' quality is exactly preserved
when you digitize your LPs using a decent soundcard and put them onto
CD. For the full experience I like to leave a minute or so of the runout
groove on the CD.


Indeed - copy an LP to CD properly and none will tell the difference. Copy
a CD to LP - I've heard it done - and the difference is obvious.
