Aaron, this is an EXTREMELY kind offer on your part. I have been lucky enough to have heard much of your handiwork in recent years, and 100% of it has been both absolutely perfect sounding and clone-like accurate, edit-wise, in every way! I must confess, before you, I was 100% dead-set against EVER having a vinyl dub be my ultimate "go-to" source. But since none of us can "order" the labels to issue everything we want in wav. file quality, I was grudgingly forced to re-open my mind to vinyl dubs. Aaron goes to great pains to locate/utilize only the highest quality original vinyl sources, which makes a huge difference. He also has a God-given ability to perfectly address any and all noise issues. To me, 10 times out of 10, Aaron's vinyl end-result sounds like it has come from a tape source. His copy of Tierra's "Together" is in perfect stereo, and sounds absolutely stone mint! Any Rhino and/or Original Sound CD audio doesn't even come close to his! I would recommend viewing Aaron to any/all editors (including the folks at the labels themselves, and I am DEAD serious here) because I believe no one in the world does it better. But don't believe me - watch him, listen to his results and then decide for yourself!    

Ditto what Jim said.  There was also a time when I wasn't open to accepting vinyl dubs as permanent additions to my digital library, but I too can attest that Aaron's vinyl transfers are indeed among the best I've ever heard and are about as close to CD quality without actually coming from a master tape source.  One major reason for this is that Aaron takes the time to seek out the absolute best condition vinyl available and I know that Jim has been extremely helpful with supplying a lot of mint, and even previously unplayed, vinyl sources from his own collection.
