"The end result IMO is like listening to the vinyl source."

Depends on the playback equipment however...

I use Cooledit Pro (on a PV) and just take a lead from my amp into my soundcard.
CoolEdit has a whole bunch of tools to remove hiss, crackles and hum.
The end result IMO is like listening to the vinyl source.

/edit. Should have said that I record the input as wave files which can either be burnt to CD using almost any CD-Burning software. I use Nero.
Or you could convert the waves to Mp3's for you mp3 player.

-->My dear Yukorin. I don't have any idea about legal issues. I suppose it's theorically forbidden.

The best burner i know is the Denon CDR1000. I think it's already several years old. I don't know if it's available as new. It makes copy better than the original.
Of course, transfering analog to digital always downgrade, but with this machine, it'll be the "less worst" possible.

I would use an audiophile burner and connect the turntable directly to it.

Hey Everyone,

I'm guessing there have got to be more than a few gearheads out there in Prog Land. My questions are relatively straightforward:

1) How do you record from vinyl to CD?

2) What set-up/equipment models do you use?

3) What do you think is the best "bang for your buck?"

Thanks ahead of time for your help.

Cheers,
AA
