Totally understand, but I didn't take the breaks I should have, and it's been a long time since I've squinted through a magnifying glass which is pretty fatiguing. My turntable wasn't in the most convenient position either.
I don't mind doing such things (once) because at least there seems to be real physics to justify it; I'm thinking back to my CD days running around trying green pens and cryogenically treated AC power chords...
I think I also saved myself over a thousand bucks since I'm not so inclined to upgrade carts.
Finally, in classical music the climaxes (the payoff) are usually placed in the worst part of the record. (Records should start from the center and work their way out) : )
