And if you use an MC pickup, the noise floor of RIAA stage is also a factor it's often in the 75bB range.
But it is more to this than noise floor, I too had a nice vinyl rig once. It sounded lovely but I have no doubt that it had a "sound of it's own", part of the vinyl magic was the sound of the playback system itself and the inherit vinyl noise and mastering compromises needed to cut the disc. So by doing a really good capture you can get that vinyl sound from your SB. if going 24bit you can capture the essence of your lp12 :) in all it's glory. Btw I actually read somewhere that an 16/44 recording of an LP player is impossible to tell apart from the player itself, there has experiments done on this. I can not quote a good source for this info, so take it as it is. Internet is a good source of info, but the quality of that info is variable. I would have gone 24bit 48kHz as good compromise all my gear work in the 24bit domain anyway and i think most modern processors dac etc is doing that. There will come a day when most hifi and HT gear do some post processing on the signal, might be a god idea to keep it high rez just in case. -- Mnyb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57431 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
