I recall reading somewhere to put the turntable/cartridge output directly into the mic input on the computer, bypassing phono preamp completely. Add RIAA compensation later or whatever curve works besr for you. Takes special program? I have not tried this yet but appeals to me as my phono pre is only so-so. Good luck to you on this project and let us know what you learn; Mike.
DIY HD Tracks from mint LPs?
I have 1500 mint Lps (no pops, clicks, or noise) and wish to make my own 96kHZ/24Bit files.
Is the technology there yet?
The bulk of HD Tracks are of Lps I already own. Why pay BIG$ to HD Tracks for each album, that I already have?
What do you need, If you have a High End turntable, MC cartridge, phono stage, preamp, as a source?
What DAC/Computer/software is needed? I have a 2011 iMac, 16 GB, 2009 Mac Mini, 4GB, and 2010 MacBook Pro, OWC SSD, 8GB.
HD Tracks are after all, just "Digital" copies of the analog master tapes, at best. What do they do, that I can't, at home, for a few thousand bucks?
Has anyone had success doing this? Is it worth the effort?
