If you take care of your LPs, and play them on a reasonably good, well
adjusted player, you should be able to get more than 100 plays on the LP
before noticeable sound degradation takes place. This is especially
true on mid-fi systems. The problem is that most people don't take
good care of their LPs, and don't take the time to set up their
players.

Don't get me wrong, dubbing to tape is probably the best compromise
for most people. Cassettes are easy to handle, don't require careful
cleaning, and sound decently good. I prefer to take care of my LPs and
get the higher fidelity that they give me over dubbed cassettes.

Fanatical Golden Ears, please don't flame. I know that with your
systems you can hear the difference after a single play. :-)
