Congratulations on the good results. The instrument inputs on some
interfaces will indeed work for this, as long as there are two of
them (a lot of interfaces just have one). If you plan to do this
again you might want to look up the input impedance of those
instrument inputs and use a Y-connector to add some parallel
resistance to bring it down to 47k, which is what the cartridge
wants to see.


I just looked it up, it's 1meg. I didn't realize that cartridge
wanted an impedance that low.

The line inputs are 14.5K and the mic press are 5.5K


iZotope RX has a pretty decent scratch and crackle treatment; start
out with it set to about 1.2, and increase as needed.


that's good to know. I don't actually have the izotope software. I
use a program called "sample manager" which uses the izotope
algorithm for SRC.

Jeepers - I though everybody over 45 knew moving-magnet phono cartridge
spec is 47K, and MC cartridges usually have a transformer to match it up !

Any reason to not simply use a phono preamp, and obviate the deleterious
effects of a 40dB curve done in software ? Mind you, if you are happy
with your results using your method I guess that's fine ;-)


I built my own phono preamp, etched PC boards an all!
Nothing but the best passive components! Yeah!! :-)

I'm sure someone used noise reduction on this gem, never made it to CD, Promo vinyl single only "legit" source.
