I have been incredibly impressed with my grado red cartridge I purchased for my stanton str8-100 turntable. All my vinyl has been given new life. I realized how much better vinyl can be vs. cd. I picked up pink floyd - darkside of the moon and was in complete awe.
Then a couple of days ago as I was thinking about how I could record from my vinyl collection, thinking about getting a stereo 1/4 to 1/4 to go to my firewire solo recording interface to my computer and wondering how that would sound. In the past I would go directly to my computer (older system)when I was messing around with scratching.
Then I realized I had a spdif output from my turntable and spdif input on my fire solo. I hooked it up...opened up my recording software, and bam!...simple and sweet...just a few pop edits here and there and I had an awesome sounding file. I had it at 44, 16bit and it sounded pretty much like a cd.
I am now considering making all my future music purchases as possible in vinyl and making my own cd/mp3s for on the go. Unfortunately most virgin vinyl is twice the price of a cd now a days. Maybe I will just start picking up my favorite albums on vinyl. I do know however that I will be looking in the classifieds/garage sales/estate sales for lot sales of vinyl...
...I now know what that audiophile addiction is all about now.
