Not to mention that digital recording can NOT record and
reproduce EVERY sound in the human range of hearing.  Neil
Young got out of his recording contract with Reprise because
they MADE him record digitally (DDD).

Your records may pop some, but if you take care of them,
they will last as long as a CD.  Plus, it's a lot easier
to mix with vinyl.

And don't complain about your 1200 not being top of
the line!  They're great pieces of equipment!
