You forgot the part where the DRM encoding adds extra noise.

I don't want to think too much about vinyl.  When I moved out, I didn't have 
room for my record collection, and I didn't have a turntable.  I left it in 
my closet, with Mom's permission.  One day a year or so later, Dad decided to 
clean house.  I don't remember everything I had, but I do know very little of 
it has ever made it onto CD.  Must have been more than a thousand LPs, all 
gifts from my great grantfather.  Mostly classical, mostly expensive boxed 
set stuff.

All in a landfill somewhere.

Here's a tissue to wipe that tear.  I think I'll have one myself.

What I wouldn't give to have that back, and one of the new USB turntables.
