I like you choice of tracks. Nice, but did you ever consider upgrading to redbook, wav or flac? You might also want to get a program to remove clicks and noise, which I notice quite a bit in your drops. Do you not notice the veil over your sound, it could be much better. But thanks for the taster to some of these bands I have never taken the time to listen too.

Hi, Elvis. Unfortunately I don't have a turntable myself - I was just buying those records while my friend ripped them. He tried to clean some of them up, but not all, some he just ripped as is. I'm aware of the shortcomings, of course, but that's what we have...

I have .flac versions of them - but didn't try to clean them yet as I'm not experienced in those things at all and don't want to make things worse. Also, time is a big concern. Maybe if someone is interested in cleaning, I can send some songs...
