RE: My vinyl ripping experience. Some thoughts and comments...

AbeCollins wrote, "HOWEVER, I hear better results with digital to digital rips from CD or paid-for album downloads. If you already own the album on CD you're probably better off ripping from it (or buying the download) rather than ripping the LP. Why? Because of generational loss and the inherent limited dynamic range of a LP."

Abe - Couldn't disagree with you more... There is no generational loss transcoding LP to digital file. What you're getting with the LP transcode (and not getting with a CD rip) is all that wonderful 2nd order harmonic distortion that makes LPs sound like LPs - which I happen to think sound better (more natural, more like real music) than CDs.
