Question About The Logistics of Putting LP's on CD's

Posted by Karma16 (A) on April 14, 2007 at 06:30:40

HI All,
I have been stymied transfering selected LP's to CD's for logistical reasons. I'm wondering how you have solved the problem or if I am missing something very basic.

I'll explain. My listening room is located at the front of my house and my computer room is at the rear. It is not possible to move the computer to the listening room for the extended time period that it will take to do the transfers. Equally, it is DEFINITELY not possible to move my turntable and preamp into the computer room. Thus, how do I get the analog signal from my audio system to my computer?

I see two possibilities:
* Run a very long cable from my preamp output to the computers A/D converters. Obviously this has drawbacks but it is do-able. I don't like this solution very much because of the long cable run but it is the most time effective.

* I could record the LP's on cassette on the big system and then play them back on another cassette machine in the computer room. Since I have four three head Nakamichi cassette machines all in good working order this is also do-able. I believe if I record on my Dragon in the big system using metal tape and Dolby C I would get reasonable sonic results. Time wise, this method is very expensive but I believe it is the best sonic solution.

I would love to hear your opinions on this especially from those who have faced a similar situation.

Thanks, Sparky
