I think that's not an easy task without a decent record player and some high res recording chain.

I have both. But I don't have the record. Yet. :)

(And I really should get going on the Shot thing instead.)

On a related note. Is it better to record vinyl to PC using USB or a phono to jack adaptor?

I'm not sure what you're really asking here. But you'll need a a good record player, an ok riia-amp and a decent sound card. It doesn't matter if the sound card is internal or usb as long as it's a good card.

A second hand M-Audio Transit is a wonderful USB card to use for this kind of thing.

I myself will not use a PC, but a Samson SD-card recorder. That's a simple way to avoid some background noise related to different ground potentials.

It's beeing transfered as I write. :)

Sony record player on the left. Rotel RIAA in the middle. The small thing on the right is a Samson SD-card recorder recording at 96kHz/24bit.

I will provide a link to a FLAC download later to those who mail me a picture of themselves with the record. :) Cleavage or better will be prioritized. :twisted:

A 96kHz 24bit FLAC sample (25Mbyte) of Marian can be downloaded if you right-click this link and use "save as".

It's about a minute long.

My ears might be stressed but I think it sounds slightly out of tune (pitched up) like if the record player rpm was a bit too fast - is that possible?

Yes, it's possible. This is a new record player to me and this is the first time I'm using it. I'll check that.

Doc! You're right. It does 104 revolutions in three minutes, it should do 100. Don't even know if that's adjustable on this player, perhaps I'll have to revert back to my Mitsubichi dp-200.

Nice ears, Doc!

Edit: Sound sample removed.

Edit#2: Needle pressure were WAY off aswell. The previous owner usually knows what he's doing, but maybe I have to reconsider that.

I did some other comparisons with "marian" today, otherwise I probably wouldn't have noticed that^^

Oh it sounds gooooood.

The title track appears to be the wrong version...

Sounds good though. Hmm :?


Edit: Anyone else have thoughts on the Mofi version of the title track? To my ears it sounds different to both '85 and '92 versions.
