Yeah, for some of this music this "old", "crappy" feel is nice. For example, my Acid Trax copy is terrible, but it plays fine withou any skip. So, I am happy because this is how it is supposed to sound (more like an historical early recording). But the Virgo music is different, IMHO. It is sublime, ethereal, and should not sound that crap...
