Vinyl collection, now what?

@snackeyp  - I have a Bryston BP26 preamp.  Would this be ok?

@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.

Does the  Bryston BP26 preamp have the phono board?

@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...

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

Good advice here. One other argument against digitizing the albums is that it happens in real time, meaning you have to be there and paying attention during the full time it takes to play the record, starting and ending the recording at exactly the right time, saving the file and then doing any necessary editing to the digital file, adjusting start and stop time, attaching or correcting song titles, etc. It can produce good results with the right A/D converter but the effort involved in doing justice to the music wasn't worth it to me.
