RE: LP Ripping

That Uwe Beis website has some really interesting products. I did notice though that some products were not available. That's unfortunate because it seems like many of them, such as the ADICON ADC would be fairly popular.

I also rip LPs but use a different approach. In the end it's not so much the process or gear as how happy you are with the final product: A digital version of your vinyl playback.

The main differences between your approach and mine is that I use an analog equalizer after the DAC(s) and record to 24-192 WAV using a digital recorder sitting in the stereo rack. The ADC is a 24-192 converter developed for the SweetVinyl SugarCube declicking device that then feeds the signal to the recorder. I use Audacity to clean up needle drops and runouts and to do loudness normalization so the resulting LP recordings are not dramatically lower in volume than CD rips and hi-res download files. After editing and normalizing, I down sample to 24-96 FLAC for final storage on a NAS drive.

I can bypass the 24-192 ADC but found that I enjoyed listening to LPs just as much in "real time" through the DAC in the SugarCube. Actually more so because the declicker does a nice job of removing the more annoying clicks and pops.

Enjoy that new PC!

Tom
