Re: TT cartridge low on one Channel
Many thanks, I did the obvious by swapping channels at the amp end but will follow through your instructions when I get the chance. Now where are my needle nose pliers to get them little leads off

Re: Should I drop mk1 power amps.
Some may wish to use a DAC which doubles as a pre or a music streamer like a Sonos that has a variable output, these would be active.Anesthetise wrote:Is there any sonic reason to use an active amp though? If the amp is able to strengthen the signal alone, why use an another piece of equipment that interferes

Re: transfer of vinyl to 'phone/ipod
Skip the CD recorder step, TT to pre or amp then a line level out to a PC/Mac with an audio input, most do have this input. At this point you then record the audio using audacity coming from the TT and its saved on the computer. You can then compress or convert as you need. Hard to give you a storag...

Re: transfer of vinyl to 'phone/ipod
You need an audio card with analog RCA inputs. Just plug in the phono stage, get some audio recording software, and voilla. :D As said with some software http://audacity.sourceforge.net I recorded about 20 albums, must have been 12 years ago now but it was a painful, slow experience and in the end ...
