Okay, so I finally did it, I transcribed an LP to digital (aka a 'needle drop'). It was a slightly frustrating, although ultimately rewarding experience which I thought I would share with you here. I trawled around a little on this forum beforehand to see if I could find any useful tips but gave up pretty quickly. The advice on offer seemed to mostly fall into two camps: "buy XYZ USB turntable/phono stage" or "don't bother/buy the CD" and I had no intention of doing either. Here is a short description of what I did do and a couple of lessons learnt along the way.

I'm in the process of building a descent sys.(not a sony and bose).I have recently purchased a mc2105 and am looking for a preamp a c28 is the safe bet, but a tube preamp looks compelling.Has anyone had any experience with the music angel m7 clone?? How would this unit stack up against a c28.

I installed a Sony DVD burner in my Dell Laptop and then installed Audio DVD creator per TaterBones recommendations from the Hoffman audio forum site, and wha la...2496 music on +R media just like he promised. Saved them as WAV 2496 pcm. The software is $40. The Sony burner cost me $60.

I am using an Echo Indigo 2496 IO card for recording and the sound is very good and played first time in my Sony 755 DVD/SACD player. The 2 tracks I burned played great. Not a single hitch.

I have just read that Krell has been sold to a private equity firm.
While some say that Dan D'Agostino will remain as chief designer, my recent visit to their website shows that all reference to Dan has been removed. He does not even get mentioned in the "History" section.
Krell was Dan and without him I fear for the company and it's products.
It seems like a really bad public relations move to completely eradicate all reference to the man who built the company from scratch and designed most of it's groundbreaking products.

If you can understand french, it is about 2/3 of the way down right before the Japan "robot" feature..

I Can undertand/speak enough to get by. anyway..vinyl sales are up about 25 percent there. encouraging..
