Vinyl collection, now what?
@hleeid $2-3K for a turntable with decent cartridge is indeed a good place to start. If you can add $500-1000 for a good preamp as well you'll be hearing that music as it was meant. That's where I STARTED, LOL. I love the vinyl sound so much I've upgraded my gear several times now. Enjoy the new trip. |
@fuzztone, Excellent post with some great advice. "Don’t even get them near a cheap USB table." Absolutely. Vinyl has the ability to outlast all digital formats therefore it deserves all the care and good handling you can afford. Needless to say, it also deserves a cartridge which has excellent tracking properties. Digitising LPs is not the great sin that some claim it is, but as @fuzztone said, it is quite a specialised job. Heck, even Michael Fremer has done it. |
@hleeid - based on the turntable you are looking at - you will probably listen to vinyl. But if you do still want to digitize albums take a look at this unit... https://www.behringer.com/product.html?modelCode=P0A31 https://mediadl.musictribe.com/media/sys_master/h31/ha5/8849957781534.pdf You'll need to have a standard preamp-output on your amp for it to work, but it makes it extremely easy to get great quality recordings at 16bit /44 kHz resolution I have one and it works great Regards - Steve |
