I second RW's response. Four or five years ago I purchased a stand-alone component, Pioneer PDRW-8339, for several hundred dollars. I have not been disspointed. The unit has made hundreds and hundreds of CD's with audio quality very close to the vinyl source itself. I think that this particular unit may be discontinued, but I have seen them used on ebay for around $150. I am sure there are other similar brands that will also give you good results.
Best way to copy LPs to CD's using a Computer
Please help! I want to transfer many of my lp's to digital and onto CDs. What software programs have you used that you could recommend and what would you suggest as the best way to connect from the integrated amp to the computer to transfer the signal?
