    Vinyl transfers are time-consuming. I do them when I can face the process. To get good results you need: a record-cleaning machine (fluid); a good TT with a nice arm and cartridge; a good phono pre; an acceptable audio interface; software. Some interfaces have the RIAA filtering built-in, so you can avoid that stage. If the records suffer from groove damage, you might need declicking and/or decrackling software or hardware as well. Sometimes i use these - though surface noise/clicks doesn't really bother me too much - and a run through the cleaning machine removes most of the dust.

    Thanks for your input. I think I have all that is required.... time, LP's in good clean condition, a good turn table, soft ware etc, all I'm missing is the know how. :D

    No matter what I do, I cant get "Audacity" to function for starters.

    Got my albums and CD's back today from "ytrehod", and I have to say that I am delighted with them. What's more, he is a gent to do business with.

    Based on the previous postings, I gave a double album to "ytrehod" last week and, apart from the very reasonable price already mentioned, he turned it 'round for me in 24 hours. He couldn't have been more helpful, and I concur with Rigsby - he IS a thorough gent to business with. I wish there were more people like him.
