Very interesting, but I gotta believe cds are a bit better for the environment!

Conrad,

How do you go about posting a video from youtube? I tried for about a half an hour the other evening with no luck at all. Thanks.

Up over and out.

Dave, I just copied and pasted the address in the address window.... you can also click on the insert link icon(green +icon above text when you are making a new post) and Part 1 of vinyl making do it that way as well. I am lazy, so I stick to the none to too fancy way. Now posting a video on youtube...I still can't do that!

I wonder how well (sound quality) this works.

It could be a handy way to convert from vinyl. Has anyone here tried this? They also have a much less expensive turntable that plugs into a USB port on your computer.

Chris,

Dan asked something like that in this thread (to vinyl's fanatics), http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=37908

My thought, based on my knowledge, is that a very cheap system couldn't do a good job in converting vinyl into cd: too much variables in between: from the cartdrige to A/D converter.

Now, if you have a decent audio system and a fair amount of vinyls in listenable condition my suggestion is to get a good entry level TT, maybe one of the ones I reccomeded to Dan. (you can get the links in the quoted thread).

If you don't care at all listen to vinyl anymore, for whatever reason, (like Dan seems to do) my suggestion is to trade off your used vinyls with cds (new or used). The result in term of sound quality will be far better then any conversion you could do with a bad TT, a cheap cartdrige and a lousy A/D converters. And probably you'll get some good money from the trading. I mean that an used original Riverside record goes for ten times the price of a OJC used cd.
