You have the option to center the disc before transferring, place a weight on 
it, and then leave it alone and transfer both tracks under identical 
circumstances. As it happens, the sound on the disc I have isn't great and 
there's a fair bit of flutter, being recorded in Vienna it may be subject to 
pitch instability in the master, but at least the recording flaws will be 
identical in each channel. Ticks and pops are going to present a totally 
different headache since each channel is now essentially a different record.

Titus Moody in stereo? Howdy Bub!
