I have to admit to enviously eyeing off the Rega Rp8 and Rp10 machines
and what makes it worse is that I know someone who has one of the Rp8
machines, lovely piece of equipment though right out of my price range
right now at just over $3000.

I have a rega iii of more than 20 years back long before the days of USB!
The thing is built like a tank - all metal. It has no gears or anything like
that. You lift the head with a small hydraulic lift and place it in the
beginning of the record. When you come to the end of the record you again have
to use the hydraulic lift and move the head by hand. If you want to change the
speed 33 to 45 rpm you have to remove that heavy platter and by hand and put it
on another pully.
But man the sound of that thing is quite something special.
I must go and look at a review of the new usb one.

True though I suppose we all assumed that people keep their records clean
<smile>.
Since we’ve gone this far - if you want a good quality result - then stay away
from those dreaded USB turntables and get a proper turntable along with a good
Fono amp though some turntables come with this nowadays.
If you have access to a recorder such as an Olympus LS-100 then you’d do very
well to record directly to that rather than sample to your computer, you can
transfer the recording to your computer from the recorder for the extra work.
The Olympus LS-100 will allow you to use 96K sampling at 24 bit which I use to
make sure I’m getting the maximum I can out of my Vinyl.
I’ll upload a sample of what I’ve done for comment.

But even more important than that is that the record must be cleaned
thoroughly before playing it. Without that you will never get a good digital
recording no matter how much you try to clean it out with software.
There are many theories out there for properly cleaning your records. It is
worth it investing in a good record cleaning brush at least. Secondluy some
good record cleaning fluid.
Whatever you do stay away from anything called Crosslee!

Firstly I suggest that you look to see that your Vinyl isn’t already available
on CD or other alternative media.
Then I reckon you should look at some of the dedicated software out there for
cleaning Vinyl such as Vinyl Studio which is available in a light and a paid
version both for Mac and Windows, both versions are easily accessible and the
paid version doesn’t cost too much.
If you do get Vinyl studio then just don’t rush in, read the help file as it
contains some most useful tips that will help you in the long run.
