Lexicon introduced the first digital delay in 1970. You can be sure that it took not very long for it to find its way into disc cutting setups. By the end of the 70s, indeed, digital delay was getting commonplace. It beat the cost of an analogue playback machine with preview heads, and its associated maintenance.
I must admit that for me part of the fun of listening to my well-used vinyl records from the late 70s / early 80s is that I know each pop and crackle intimately. If I want crackle-free playback I listen to streamed FLAC-files.
