My point is just that second-best practice in this case may be not at all terrible. Yes, if you waste a little of the top end of the range of sample values when recording, and then multiply everything by a constant to get it back, you are multiplying various kinds of noise at the low end. You don't want to add any noise you can help. I'm just saying, the vinyl record, played through modest equipment, already has enough noise in it that I, anyway, am not going to notice these additional effects.
