In Reply to: RE: I burnt two LineStreamers out posted by Des on November 14, 2016 at 14:58:07
I didn't experience any problems with my HRT Linestreamer+ used on a MacBook Pro for ripping my vinyl. I didn't rip that many though, maybe a few dozen albums.Is the Furutech GT40a still available? I had a hard time finding it recently as I browsed online. NAD makes a real inexpensive unit that is readily available but I don't know how good it is.

My TWO(?) LineStreamers just slowly stopped working over a few days-
- bloody strange I do admit. No one had any answers although my 17" MBook is pre 2011.
Agree though fine value for the $$--yes the Furutech-now the "a" improved Version-- completed my
tasks like a dream --they are freely available and highly recommended.
Alternative to go further up the scale to the Ayre Q /Mytek/etc.

Abe, the NAD only does 16/44 or 48. The ADL is still around, I think Audio Advisor and/or Parts Conexxion has them. They are an ADC, a DAC, a phono preamp, and I think a headphone amp. It is a lot for the money, if it sounds good. And I think the newer model now goes up to 24/192, although I think 24/96 is ideal for vinyl.
I recommended it to a friend who was just starting out, but he still hasn't made a move.
I think for someone who is doing vinyl the PS Audio on closeout might be the way to go. Especially if you don't have a decent phono preamp.
I thought about it, but Fremer said it was on the lean side, and I like my Lancelot Pro.
I didn't know about the NAD's 16/44, 48 limitation. I'm with you on 24/96 being the sweet spot and more than sufficient for digitizing vinyl.
I'm a little confused on the ADL. That's the same as Furutech, right? I'm thinking of the GT40a. After searching ADL GT40a, I found it on the Needledoctor website for $579 USD. You're right, it does a lot for the price and according to the specs, it supports up to 24/192.
I've been tempted by the closeout pricing on the PS Audio NuWave Phono Converter but I don't need a phono preamp and I've been happy with the results from my HRT Linestreamer+. If I were to invest a lot more time ripping my entire vinyl collection, I might take the PS Audio unit more seriously.
