Thanks! I will check it out since it sounds very promising.
In my opinion the best!There is a MAC version too. I’ve got a Rega P3 and a few hundred LP’s, but I do not play them as I am waiting for ‘the input device’ in Roon (to use convolution for vinyl playback) ‘The input device’ does not seem to be a priority for Roon so it may never happen. I have made some ‘needledrops’ with VinylStudio that I play regularly. Sounds very nice.
+1 vinyl studio. It saved hours by finding track names and entering them rather than me typing on about 1500 albums that I recorded. The auto track breaks needed tweaking but it was all painless.

I have a Michell Orbe with Dynavector DV20X2 and a Trigon Advance phono stage in my main system. It sits in my main system alongside my Linn Klimax DS/1, Lindemann 830S/858 pre/power amps and Magnepan 3.6R speakers.
Most of my listening these days is digitally sourced, streamed from my local NAS or from Tidal, but I really enjoy my turntable when I do use it occasionally. I still marvel at the sound quality of the best examples of vinyl albums I have in my collection.
I also have a refurbished Pioneer RT-909 reel to reel tape deck in this system. This also sounds very good, but gets used a lot less than my turntable. Still, it’s a lovely looking bit of kit and I would never let it go.

A basic Project Digital - I needed either a TT or phono amp with a digital out as my preamp has no analog inputs. Pretty basic sounding and doesn’t really hold a candle sound wise to my Roon set up, but purchased it pretty much for one album I can’t find anywhere on digital and the occasional 7" party. Butcher block and Herbie’s grungebusters underneath the TT. I (and my wife) love the ability to stow it away with the Ikea hack (though easily forgotten about).

We need a new thread: Who has a turntable in a draw?!?!?
Ha! I’m not ‘allowed’ a proper hifi rack in the living room, so I’ve beefed up this Ikea Besta. Everything screwed together well, and Herbie’s grungebusters under all of the feet. Works well. Excess speaker cable (all 20 feet of it) attached underneath and TV on top. And you can actually push in the drawer while the TT is playing (which sadly isn’t that often). But everybody’s happy!

Sounds to me like the whole arrangement between you and your significant other ended in a draw

It’s the only way!
VinylStudio does a few other things as well as record vinyl. It’s one of the few programs I know that will convert .dff and DoP to .dsf natively (ie without converting to a different format entirely) making it a lossless process.
Still, it’s better than in the attic in a box.

My turntable: Pro-Ject 1 Xpression Carbon UKX. I prefer placing the vinyl directly on the acrylic platter.One downside is the pulley to change speed is under the platter.

is the arm bent, or is that an artifact of the photo?
YES. Out of the box…
All the Moerch-Arms are bent. Have a look:

Nottingham 294 with a Soundsmith MMP3
I’ve bought about 50 records in the last years or so which puts me somewhere around a 1000 records which I listen to on a regular basis.
On the hunt for a Linn LP12 just because I always wanted one (just sayin)

Rega P3-24 with Rega TT PSU -> Cambridge Audio 640P, for the time equipped with an Audio-Technica VM540ML. Playing at least every weekend, one full album at a time.
