How is listening to a digitized LP more convenient than just playing it
- assuming you haven't thrown away your record player? This may be a
good method for someone who plays a record over and over and over until
it wears out, but Nate isn't a teenager and I'm sure he takes good care
of his records.

When you own hundreds, or a couple of thousand records, you won't live
long enough to play them all enough to wear them out. Or maybe you will.
You're acting like a 10 year old.



Or if you really like it, don't have it or can't get ot on CD, feel free
to digitise it if you want, and maybe avoid the (maybe euphonic)
acoustic feedback through the room, turntable, arm, and cartridge.

Mine is on a solid slab table, concrete piles through the floor to the
ground. But for listening I prefer a *good* CD, and have transpose my
favourites or those unobtainium.
