Second that. I listen to vinyl not very often but only for the reason of not "excessive" usage of stylus and record itself ;-) Got recently some valuable records which needed to be digitally immortalized. For cleaning I use cheapest dish liquid and hot distilled water. Then goes the Technics 1200 MKII with Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge right into Pearl Phono Stage. Recording is usually made by field recorder at 24/96 through line input. Post processing, crackle removal etc. done in Sound Forge. Now, I found that some alcohol based cleaners increase background noise - checked that many times, comparing recordings in Sound Forge. I did not notice any difference among several recorders doing A/D process. However I always kept them powered by batteries, not external power supply. Worst sounding turns out to be computer with sound card input. This is a digitizing process but I would use it in the least amount needed. Also do not underestimate the phono stage. IMO this is, right with turntable, the most important piece. My diy, all discrete, with passive equalization Pearl, has very smooth RIAA curve and it really sounds. -- gizek SB Touch > DIY FDA-1 DAC > Pass Labs X1 preamp > Pass Labs XA30.5 amp > Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor M ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gizek's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34337 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93265 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
