[AT] The Wreck Of The Old 97/OT

[Howard Weeks]

I have been moving LPs to computer and CDs for several months now.

Turntable feeds a small dual channel or stereo preamp -
Which feeds a small analog to digital convertor that plugs into a USB 
port.  Both the preamp and the A-D convertor are available from a 
number of sources.
For software, I use "Nero" running on XP Pro.  I think I paid about 
$60 for the Nero software package.

The software contains a number of tools that provide a capability to 
clean up the audio if needed (remove noise hits, etc).  I save most 
of my stuff in MP3 format as well as CD format.  

The quality is as good as or better (less noise) than the original.

And I can record anything that I can play on the turntable.

Tiger has the A-D convertors.  I have forgotten where I got the 
preamp.  The standard output of the turntable pickup is too low 
without the preamp.  If you have the turntable connected to a stereo 
amp/receiver, the line out from it has the required level to drive 
the A-D convertor.
