What are you using to ADC?
For now I am using a DigitNow and VinylStudio Pro software (which I really like) but seriously considering getting an Audio Technica TT with built-in USB and doing it again in the summer.
Sound is fine but I am using my little IKEA unit for the moment so could be improved a lot I imagine.
Always happy for recommendations to improve the process (most of my vinyl is from 90-84 so is quite old)
Ah, we should rip the same album and compare, your DigitNow to the RME ADI-2 Pro ■■ rips.
Close my vinyl years stretch from 1970 - 1987. After that it was all CD for awhile. Some recent-ish purchases aside, like Gabriels first 4 albums, Joy Division “Closer”, Mofi Echo and the bunymen “Heaven Up Here”. etc
I do not imagine any comparison, the DigitNow was $20 (ish) and for that works well to 24/48 and gives a reasonable sound.
The ADI-2 Pro is in a rather different league, and price but I bet it does a wonderful job.
Just cleaning a number of mine has made a huge difference. I am only planning to rip the albums I do not have on CD/High Resolution already so it will be ~30-40 albums, and really it is just a fun project to consume some time
If I do buy a TT with decent A2D converter I might end up doing more of them, and I have been listening to them on headphones at the same time which has been nice.
I got that too, but it didn’t honestly seem that interesting as much as I like their newer stuff
