I suppose its like someone wanting to play there records on an old
system
as if they play there records on a hi fi system they can clearly hear
the
hiss and rumble.

Transcribe an LP to CD and you get pretty much exactly the same effects
(be they positive or negative) that you get playing the LP directly,and
if the mechanical feedback and 'excitation' of the replay system is part
of what does it for you, have the speakers running as you transcribe.



Well that's all true, but misses the point many actually like the ritual
of finding half way playable pressings, cleaning the records, changing
sides, buying new stylii, belts etc. :-)
Many others that lived through it, were glad to give that all up!


But the nostalgia ?!!!

Yep, it always comes back to that. Some people get over it, some never do.
