The minuscule electrical output of an analog signal from a moving-coil cartridge needs to be boosted before it can be converted to digital and equalized in the digital domain. Of course, you could use your current phono preamplifier and record an equalized signal to hard disk, but then you wouldn't get to experience <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/computeraudio/pure_vinyl_lp_recording_amp_ed… Vinyl</A>'s digital RIAA correction&#151;nor would you be able to avail yourself of all the equalization curves provide by Pure Vinyl, of which there are almost too many to count.

For just a few days now I’ve been receiving mysterious e-mails from “Jazz on the Tube.” At first I wondered if they were spam, and I was afraid to click on the links inside. But they all seemed harmless enough: A few kind and thoughtful words, a passion for jazz, a hand held out in friendship, a smile. So I clicked the link and was taken to a simple page with a narrow, white field against a black border and a YouTube video at the center.
