Maybe, but one does get attached to the familiar ambience (?) of old,

sitting on the floor and listening to the Rexine-covered Dansette.


For nostalgia, I have software that *adds* cracks, pops, scratches,
surface noise, motor noise, tracking damage to clean tracks. It's just
for fun and specific effects, though.

I think I will be attempting the reverse procedure when I get to the
stage of recording onto my desktop.

Using Goldwave you can take a straight copy of an LP,
auto-declick it and do a diff on the two files, leaving
20 minutes of clicks and pops which can then be added
for nostalgic effect to any CD.
