Pinging John.

Hey John.

I just thought of something regarding "the challenge". When recording off the LPs to digital, I'd record them while monitoring through the speakers at the same level you will be listening during the "shootout".

Here's why: If you record vinyl to digital as I do, with very low bass level or headphones to eliminate acoustic feedback, the CD will probably sound inherently different than the vinyl just because of the absence of acoustic feedback. Even if the turntable is well-isolated, there's still a possibility that a trace amount of acoustic feedback could ever-so-slightly influence the sonics.

After getting the levels set for the music recording session, I'd probably record a test-tone track from a test LP to a CD without altering the record level. Then you can go back and match the levels of the turntable and CD player precisely for the auditioning session.

I'm sure you already thought of that stuff, but I thought I'd just throw that out there.

Cheers,
Bobbo :-)
