Got Needledrops?

Digital transfer of vinyl audio...
It is hot among audiophiles these days...

I've been listening to some, and they ROCK!!

They don't have the over-processed, levels-saturated sound of CD's these days. Instead they have a "warmer", more realistic sound (to me, most modern CD's and digital audio sounds like the recording was done by pushing the EQ levels to the max just to get loudness for the sake of loudness... they're horrible.)

Here's what I've been listening to recently (thanks for most of them to to PBTHAL's blog... where he runs 'em off the vinyl using the best possible pressings of the release) --
