On quite a different note, but still on the turntable tip-
When I record vinyl into the 'puter (protools) and start fixing all the pops and clicks and skips and other surface noise, I see that about 95% of those sounds happen in only one channel in my case, the right. Is there some logical explanaition for this? Is it that my needle is getting old? Or perhaps just the way the needle sits in the grooves? Is it the records themselves?

That's the nature of vinyl, vinyl and CD are mastered differently.
I usually buy CD's since I'm not a DJ who has to rely on vinyl and the music
is properly mastered for digital audio there's also the
convenience factor.

I wouldn't recommend it, I hate when people process vinyl mixes with EQ or
plug-Ins.
Just record the mix dry (a good sound card helps) and let people adjust the
EQ on their stereo.
If you notice vinyl mixes sound better recorded to tape, that usually makes
things a little warmer.
