What are the better sources that you have found?
Now that I have a new preamp with MM/MC section, I'm still re-acquainting myself with all of the vinyl I have collected, starting in the late-'60s and am finding that a lot of it actually sounds pretty darn good. Of course, I have always kept my albums in excellent condition and if they were too worn or became damaged, they were replaced to avoid damage to whatever stylus I'm using.
