Good points Louis, but I can't afford a sound card at the moment, but I have got Peak so I can probally clean them up a bit with that, but then again that doesn't really sit that well with me. It's a bit like the Vatican sending the Turin shroud out to be dry cleaned;) They're not actually the original 78's, although I have got a few of those. I just want to didgitise my Yazoo records collection, so I don't have to play the originals anymore.
