Where can you get access to great quality vinyl rips?


I think it would be great to get access to great quality vinyl rips from records that are in great condition (perhaps gotten an ultrasonic cleaning first) and with great equipment producing the sound (super high end tables, arms, carts, phono preamps, cabling, etc...as well as an excellent ADC for the conversion (Multi-bit ADC possibly???). I like this idea rather than buying CDs since the masters for vinyl typically have much higher dynamic range than their digital counterparts. Theoretically, if done right you could have a copy of an album that sounds like it does on an analog front end costing multiple tens of thousands of dollars. (I know this is a little blasphemous, but I think you could get it close if you have a good DAC) Anyone know of a service that does this?

Consider doing this yourself for personal copies.  I've been recording vinyl playback on a high-quality turntable to a Tascam DA-3000 at DSD128.  For personal use, you can also use a hi-res PCM or DSD recorder to record hi-res content in real-time from streaming services.
