[Vintage-Audio] Re Vinyl Vs CDS

Wed Mar 12 16:06:01 2003

Mike, 	

I have done it both ways. The cost is negligible if you know where to purchase
the music CDS. They also run 80 minutes. There is an entirely different format
used for the data, the music and the rewriteable CDS. They are not necessarily
compatible with standard CD players! Only the newest CD players will play some
formats. 	

I use a Sony and a Denon hardware unit. The Sony is half the money, and frankly,
superior. 	

If anyone is seriously interested in copying vinyl tracks to CD, I have
perfected the technique. When I tried to get help on how to do this, nobody
seemed to have a solid plan. So I put the expensive software package down
unopened, bought a hardware unit and developed my own method. Not bragging, but
what I turn out is absolutely studio quality. Ask anyone who has heard my work,
but I do not think any are on this list. But they are on the Hallicrafters, SWL
and Boat Anchors lists! 	

The quality of the audio is superior with the standalone unit. I have done audio
for forty years, and i know when it is right.

Roy: I cheated. I used a friend's component CD burner. It can copy CDs and
make CDs from a line input. The main disadvantage is it uses "music" CD
blanks. It cannot use the much cheaper "Data" CD blanks. Music vs data CD's
IS NOT a quality issue. The Music CDs have some info prerecorded on them so
they can be recognized by comonent CD burners. The extra charged for the
music CDs goes to the recording industry to compensate them for all those
illegal copies people make.  I do not have any PC recording solution yet.--

Mike,

I am interested in how you did that.

What digitizer equipment/software did you use?

I will hopefully soon be recording some of my old 78's onto cassette, and 
possibly digital files/cd's and I am a complete novice at the digital stuff.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Roy
