| NAD Remote Disassembly I looked, but the ad didn't help me out. Thanks anyway. | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC Well, I received an nice care package in the mail from fellow Audiogon list member Ghasely. It was pair of CDs made on the Korg using DSD. The sample rate was set for my current sound card, which is a paltry 16/44.1. The CDs still sound great. Bet... | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC I definitely prefer vinyl, I just hate having to move the entire collection when we move into a different house. I've moved the whole analog empire twice now. I'm sure there will be more to follow. | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC I'm hoping to only archive the LPs I don't already have digitally, all the bootlegs, rare gems, etc. Otherwise I'd be well North of 60 before I'm done. | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC Believe me, I have thought about how long this will take me. I dread it. The only upside that I see is listening to ton of good vinyl that I haven't heard in a while. Right now, all of my LPs are sitting in custom-made shelves. The last time I mov... | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC After reading all the flames getting slung about, let me clarify my original post. I do have a lot of vinyl (~5,000 LPs), and somehow, I'd like to put them in a digital format so they're easier to ______. I love my vinyl, my TT rig isn't the best,... | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC Mp3 is nothing more than the name given to a compression algorithm. Songs off of an LP, in their native format, are WAV files. WAV files take up 10-20X the space of MP3 files, so they are difficult to email, take up huge tracts of space on hard dr... | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC WAV is always good. FLAC's not bad either. My LP's are all in good shape. I even have a VPI 16.5 to keep them that way (and a good stylus cleaner, too!). | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC The PC may change, but the music won't, so I am very concerned about the quality of the sound card. The integrated sound card makes noise even when there is no music going through it! It has to be turned up, but it is there. The headphone amp is p... | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC I've seen direct to CD TTs before, and I tend to steer clear of them. Maybe it's just me, but the TT/cartridge combo in those appear (at least) to be of dubious quality. My TT is not great, but it's possibly better than those. I'm not sure...Would... | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC I've got a recommendation of a NuForce UDAC 2 from a good friend, but that appears to be the exact opposite of what I need, which is an analog-to=digital converter, not a digital-to-analog converter, which didn't make sense to me.I read the mentio... | |
| Fix My Preamp vs. Buy Phono Stage My preamp (which sounds great with the NAD/B&K/Vandersteen combo) was purchased off of eBay for ~$115.00. Which isn't much. But all I can say is "it's good that I bought most of my audio gear when I was a bachelor" because it won't happen agai... | |
| Best Album Purchase, or Best Evaluating Record I like the Rickie Lee Jones too. Any Miles Davis sounds great as well. I just spun a copy of Relaxin' that was excellent. I haven't heard Workin' yet, but I will soon. | |
| Best Album Purchase, or Best Evaluating Record I have the David and David record too, and it is good for a lot of reasons. The lamest purchase I ever made was a Jay Ferguson cutout, back in my college days. At least it has Thunder Island on it!I also have the Norah Jones, and the Dave Brubeck ... | |
| Shorting Plugs and Non-shorting Plugs - Wothwhile? I guess it's the preamp. Just the preamp hummed using the radio test as described by Dan Myers. I like black and white tests like he describes. I can make a determination, and move on to my next step. Whatever that is. It just may be a new phono p... |
