You might consider a freestanding CD recorder such as the Marantz/Superscope Professional series models. They turn up used pretty often, sometimes under $300.00. I can play CD's recorded on my CDR 630 in my system and can barely tell them from the vinyl they were recorded from. I have the recorder hooked in to a tape loop on the preamp.
Records to CD ripping need basic help
I just want to transfer LPs to CDR (stereo only). I purchased Audio Cleaning Lab/10 installed on my VAIO laptop and plugged in into my audio system. The resulting CDs even in the 24 bit mode are the most horrible thing I've ever heard. We are talking about quality. It "works" but the degradation from the original LP is incredible.
I'm thinking that audio quality should be the fault of the sound card A/D? Do I need to get a real sound card, one with RCA inputs? Could it possibly be software?
