In Reply to: RE: Is the Alesis Masterlink still the gold standard for vinyl ripping ? posted by Marantzguy on March 15, 2012 at 12:51:56
I was the one who said I can only get 3.5 hrs of recording time. I must have been wrong about the hard drive size, because even after I format the hard drive (using the built-in utility), the front panel display says I have 3.5 hrs of recording time. Perhaps my unit is one of the early ones with only a 3 - 4GB hard drive.
It's not a big issue for me, as I tend to record a few LPs, make CDs of them, and then erase the recorded files on the Masterlink.

Hi, rlindsa:
I originally wanted to comment that yours must have been the very first version of the Masterlink. Most owners later replaced/updated their internal hard drives. I recommend that you also do this and as another poster mentioned, if you plan to keep the machine, now is the time to obtain extra hard drives for future replacement as well as new CD RW drive units. I understand that these are not at all difficult to change out.
I love my Masterlink and have recorded many a wonderful live performance on it as well as transfer material not only from lps but some old analog tapes, as well.
So far, so good, as they say!

I can't imagine they are too hard to change out.

Hi, rlindsa:
Best advice: contact the folks at Alesis for a list of recommended models to choose from and then go hunting on eBay or elsewhere. There is also the Alesis Masterlink Users Group to consider approaching.
Shop around!
