LPs restoration
I'm going to work on a quite large collection of LP (classical music) in
order to put them on cd and dvd. For each LP I'll make a 'restored' copy on (audio) cd and a 'natural' copy at 24/96 in wav format on dvd. For the A/D conversion I'm going to use my Prism Sound AD- 2. At the moment, however, I don't a LP player. Can you suggest me a model? And is it an ordinary preamp (like the Tascam MX-4) good or I need something different? Thanks in advice, gigio |

Not a mike preamp. What is your budget? You can get an entry level system, say a Thorens TD-124 with the stock arm, a Grado DJ-100 cartridge, and an Adcom preamp for around $500 if you shop around for used gear. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

Technics still make direct drive turntables for the DJ market that aren't too shabby. Shure cartridges are still good. And is it an ordinary preamp (like the Tascam MX-4) good or I need something different? You need a preamp with RIAA equalization and a standard 47K ohm input impedance for the typical MM cartridge. Here's a source of a lot of RIAA preamps at just about any price level: http://www.kabusa.com/index_pp.htm Or, surf eBay for some classics. I picked up an APT/Holman that way. |

You WANT to clean every record using such a device before playing/transcribing it. The way I work is clean side 1, play side 1, clean side 2, play side 2. This keeps each side as clean as possible before it gets played. Gigio "Scott Dorsey" ha scritto nel messaggio ...

It's the most important thing to do, IMO. Good fortune, Chris Hornbeck "Only necessity is heavy, and only what is heavy has value." -Milan Kundera, _The Unbearable Lightness of Being_ |
