Reading an interview with Ed Meitner, he stated that Sony and others are archiving their master tapes to DSD format(SACD). If you wait a little while, the pro digital recording equipment for DSD recording will be somewhat affordable for a serious person wanting to archive an extensive LP collection for posterity. SADIE(a pro rec.equip.mfr.) currently has a system out for $28000. I know that's alot but look at what always happens when new technology comes out - prices soon drop. I think that if Sony and others are using this DSD to archive their billions of $$ worth of master tapes, then it's probably good enough for us too.
Vinyl to Digital
Without unduly fueling the debate of digital vs. analogue -- I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has converted from vinyl to digital and is happy. My speakera are Proac 1SC my table is a WTTT&A with a vanderhull cart. I listen mainly to jazz, chamber music & vocals. amp/preamp currently tube and will probably replace with Cary300sei. I am also considering a xary cd box player.
Thanks for your thoughts.
