You can also find most of Distinctive, Hope, Whoop, Vapour, Basic Beat, Combined Forces, Baroque, Superfly, Plastica and quite a few other old labels on Beatport. |
The back catalogues of Bonzai Records, DiKi Records, Warp Records, Peacefrog Records, Soma Records, R&S Records and Djax-Up-Beats are also available, among other labels and artists. I should also warn that many of the older releases, especially on Djax-Up-Beats, are recorded pretty horribly - on the quiet side.

I have to disagree. After 20 years of ripping in my personal experience the most important thing in any rip is the vinyl itself. Then the stylus. Maybe you could make a case for your A2D converter and soundcard. Processing in something like iZotope RX 5 essential also. After that I would argue your gains in sound are down to the individual listener.
I have spent a fortune on some real snake oil crap. You read the reviews with all the big words and fancy language and think this is the thing that will transform my records. No. No it wont. Buying a MINT copy of the record will. Having a stylus that can scoop up all detail will.
The only other addition I would recommend which yields real improvements is an ultrasonic cleaner. It can bring records back from the dead. I have before and after samples I can post as an example from a test pressigng of Atlantis Fiji from 1998.

On the stores themselves:
I have emailed both beatport and Juno several times for a refund and I check every purchase with spek to see if there is a frequency cut off on their wav (thus pointing to a re-encoded mp3). One of a few tools I use.
