Back when I wasn't a geezer getting a new LP was a big deal. I was always careful that the first play would be under ideal listening conditions because, even though I had a high-end Miracord turntable and a high-end Pickering cartridge, the second play was never quite as good as the first play. Things I could hear on the first play were not there on the second play. Play after play there would be less and less music on the LP. Tape was better. It did not degrade as quickly, but tape does degrade too. CDs, when cared for, were the first medium where the 1000th play was as good as the first play. Maybe the first play of an LP would be a bit better, but I can't see tossing LPs after just one play. I'm not that committed. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
