The time has come to get rid of a few thousand LPs. Storage and moving is just too much problem. First I need to buy a turntable then decide if replacing any of my old components would improve the quality of the recorded cds. It is difficult to know what to replace. I would be willing to buy a better amp or more expensive table if it would be a significant difference. |

Kevin, invest in a new Rega P3, with a Dynavector 10X5 cart.
Use it and sell it, best investment that I can think of.
Other than a really good record cleaner. |

Thanks, I like the idea of Rega because that is my only choice from a known/trusted dealor. Other brands whould have to be online.
I guess you figure the Int. amp is not a big factor? Mine is old but sounds ok. My cdr is pretty cheap but also sounds ok. I just wonder how good home made cds are. Everyone seems to burn them on computers now. |

Kevin, the end result will have to run through the pc, like it or not.
Ensure highest bit rates, and give it a try!
The Rega setup really is the best for the money.
I kid you not. |

"...will have to run through the pc..."
I don't understand that? I make a cd on the Hi Fi and play it on the HiFi. Where does the PC come in?
Thanks kc |

Kevin, please expand on your recording kit. I have no experience with a hi-fi cd-r. |

I have the CDR Pionier model PDR 609. There is a long discussion on this forum of the similar 509. I have not tried it yet but think it is just like making a cassette recording. I made hundreds of them 'back in the day'. Gave them all away w/the old Nakamichi cassette deck. |

Everything else aside I may be interested in your collection. Send me a personal email should you care to pursue disposing of your LPs.
I also think going lossless into your PC may be an avenue to consider. I have purchased a product that will accept my RCAs from my monitor out of my pre-amp into my PC for the purpose of burning LPs to CD with retaining as much of the "analog" as possible. |

Mike, perhaps you could copy a few records for Kevin.
Postage is a bite to Alaska.
Kevin, why the hell do you live there? |

Kevin, your lp's will not find a more loving, nurturing home than Mike's.
I'm sending him my kids. |

I will let you know when I get ahead on the LPs. Mostly jazz and blues.
My dad went to Alaska for construction when I was 15ys. I liked the natural beauty. Then came job opportunities so even the last 16 years being a snow bird, I always follow the geese back for the summer feast. I just ordered the Rega 3 from my nearest dealor. Demo model for $200 off. Dealor thinks my Onix int amp will be good for this job. He never pushes me into buying more. |

My HiFi guys (http://www.hawthornestereo.com/) in Seattle where I winter, have a Rega's Elys2 cart for $200 with the table. He says my ADS reciever is ok. Not being very knowledgeable I usually take their word. I trade in and change kits a lot.
As for computers, I am like the person who can drive but doesn't know how to check the oil. Would rather leave it that way. |

Back in the olden days, I used to record LPs onto cassette and reel to reel. It was simple and you listened as you recorded. Not like now when they burn cds fast. I figure I wouldn't record it if I didn't want to listen to it. I will have to learn to use the Pionier 609 cd recorder. From what I read here it should be easy enough. |

I suppose that once in a while, the stuff does what it should do.
Hoping good luck for you, KC.
Post the details as you go along?
Puter program, AD solution, etc.? |

Now the turntable + spkrs are in the mail/ups so I will start when they arrive. I have the cdr and reciever. Unloading the LPs after 17 yrs in storage! Next post will be on how to clean them. 'Back in the day' I simply washed them like dishes. |

Kevin, are you going to use a discwasher or a nitty gritty? |

I used to have a disc washer with a wooden base. For the serious cleaning I used the sink, no kidding. I am starting over and have no ideas yet. What do you think? |

Kevin, I ain't got the vinyl yet. Yet.
I had the new P3 in mind, with a dynavector 10X5, but after the daughters wedding.
The other guys will stop by, I am looking forward to this thread, and I think you are are great guy for this forum. |

I haven't figured out how to sneek the new gear into the house. If I haul a big bunch of LPs from storage and make a huge mess, while she is at work, she may not notice the new stuff in the mess. Unfortunately because of the super good deal I got on the quads 11L I had to settle for piano black to get them half price. They are going to stick out like a sore thumb. Oh well, I am not scared. |
