OLD VINYL > HI RES DIGITAL
Posted by: Simon Drake on 16 July 2009
Hi All,
For those of you with large record collections we've come across a guy that'll capture and digitize your treasured LPs in Hi Res.
As you know, there are now a lot of people trying this! There are also a good few ways of digitizing LPs but this new service captures the music at a high data rate and bit depth then converts the file to whatever file type you want.
I beleive the LP is initially played on an LP12 and the AtoD convertors are studio quality, the captured signal is then converted to CD, FLAC, AIFF, WAV or any other format, of your choice (which sold it to me, because we all have different digital playback habits).
It ain't cheap but if you want the best, you've gotta pay for it! It is a long and detailed process where the results can, in many instances, outperform the original cd release.
This service may be of interest to you for those collectors edition LPs or for albums that you just can't find on CD. They also do a click removal (which you can specify) that is purely mathematical and isn't based around simply filtering out frequencies (old school click removers are evil! They tend to detract from the music!)
We've been so pleased with the results, I thought I'd tell you all about it! There has been lots of previous threads on (mostly) bad services, so I thought I'd put you onto a great alternative.
Drop our friend Martin Dalgleish an e-mail mjd.tech.ltd@btopenworld.com for more info.

Or buy a Turntable and play your treasured vinyl how it was meant to be played, just a thought.
