Since I upgraded my old Thorens with a new Lynn analog front end, I rediscovered my Lp collection. I found Lps sound considerably better than cds. I buy Lps wich I am intersted even if I have a cd copy, I sell the replaced cd if the digital mastering is old (pre '90) or the bonus track is lacking or artistically trascurable, otherways I keep them both. In Italy is difficult to find good used copies of Lps, Ebay is good only for big purchase like Mosaic boxes, because the shipping is expensive and unsafe for a single Lp, (I lost several stuffs via USPS or Italian PS), for a Box (usually more than hundred bucks) you could spend at least 20 bucks to get them safe, not worthy for a 20 bucks Lp). I buy Lps if they have a good pressing from analogue source, I buy them on american websites because Euro/dollar exchange rates is good, they are cheaper even with shipping and custom taxes

Thanks. BTW I found this useful link http://www.loc.gov/preserv/care/record.html

How do you clean your Lps?
