Analogue transfers to CD

Posted by: David O'Higgins on 01 April 2004

I'm interested in transferring some of my LPs to CD ("out of print items"). I have done this once using a Pioneer 609 recorder, so I'm familiar with the process. Can anyone offer an opinion on which machine(s) are best at analogue to digital conversion, or are they largely all the same.

This site has great advice for recording vinyl with a computer. BUT -- a lot of the advice [wet/dry playing, keep the speaker volume down when recording to reduce feedback etc..] is applicable to CD-recorders too.

Hi Ross,

The USB protocal caters for in-line power (hence you can have bus-powered USB devices), so my guess is the cable uses that to boost the data signal level (which explains the purpose of the chunky looking connector at one end).
