If you are, chances are it's surface noise.
Anyway, it's important to buy records, given the huge amount of choice outthere you'd be crazy if you're buying everything, but it's still important.
Also: I will be dead in the cold cold ground before I pay for an mp3.

We are on the same page for the most part, but the way I see it, the only time one really CAN tell the difference between digital/AAA recordings and hear atrifacts and such is when one has a very high-quality stereo system.
I also think that if one has made the investment in a good syatem, one should also invest in the highest-quality recording available of the music one is interested in. What is the point otherwise?
