I must be blessed. I have tried cleaning records every which way and it never makes a spec of difference.
What good is a loaf of bread when it is squished flat. Digital playback is potentially far more accurate in relaying an accurate waveform with far less distortion than any analog path. The important word here is potential.
Most frequently with popular music the dynamic compression is crippling.
But, the naysayers here need to listen to an album remastered for digital in 24/96 or higher. Something like Led Zeppelin One or Leon Russel's blue album.
Nothing is missing in a digital file. You do not jump from one way point to another when you make a trip. You drive from one way point to another.
A digital file is a bunch of way points that tell the DAC where to drive. The DAC is driving through the signal just like your stylus drives through a record. Any error is added as noise. Far less noise than any analog process can come even remotely close to. It is only a matter of how the music is presented.
