Mention hereon of phono pre-amps reminds me....
I am shortly likely to be sans phono stage, so am looking into a mm phono pre. Does anyone have any views on the Rega A2D one? It appeals partly due to the inclusion of a USB plug 'ole which would allow a bit of Audacity-ing of some of the LP collection.
Yes, I know, MP3 = crap, but I do like to have a bit of background noise on my long daily walks on the beach (apart from the surf and gulls!).
Cheers, Steve
I havent transferred vinyl for a long time and even then it was onto a CD recorder, then to the PC. The sound quality will rely on the bitrate. I've been playing with a PCM recorder and comparing it directly to MP3/4 sources and the PCM machine is 'different'. Unfortunately it is also hard drive hungry.
I can't see how the Rega will be anything other than perfectly adequate
