RE: I'll second that!

The CD rips and free lossless downloads I get are really good via the rpi/hdd transport. I tempted to get rid of all my CDPs.
The vinyl recordings can be excellent but setting gain levels is a PITA - it's as easy to not get it to the right level as it is to not get both channels at equal levels. Means at playback I'm always adjusting volume with the vinyl and that sucks because randomizing playback is such a blast. Worse than that is I don't have a balance control which seems much more needed now that I decided to make recordings of vinyl.
What's neat about the vinyl recordings is that I can identify whether I used the XX2 or the 20xl and whether they were mounted on the Roksan or the Rega.
I've used a Sony CDR and a Tascam CDR for the bulk of my recordings. Given my ability as a recordist it would probably would have been a waste of money have used more enlightened equipment.
