    If you've recorded from the LP it then makes sense to stick it on yer server if you do streaming, and to burn CDs if you don't. Saves on wear and tear on the vinyl rig/software.
    OK

    I will stick with my much loved and regularly fondled vinyl

    I had a 45 player in my first truck. It was a 55 Chevy. It mounted underneath the dash, and was a factory option. It worked alright but it was rough on the records.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Apart from anything else Al, there are times when you just can't risk using records. Like now for instance here. I have been breaking up a concrete slab and no matter how careful, dust is inevitable. Most of the hi-fi and the LPs are locked away in a sealed room and it's just the Mac (bad enough but I can hoover it out) as source. There is no way I can go without my favourite music for the couple of months of building work coming up so it makes sense to have everything digitised.

    Sounds very good actually. If I had to, I could listen to it quite happily on a permanent basis. It's only when compared directly that the difference becomes obvious.

    I won't be getting rid of the LPs though.

    Default Who digitizes their vinyl....

    Devialet digitises phono inputs then converts back to analogue. Works really well, not least because the system uses a database with the correct settings for just about any cartridge. The USB socket is 2-way so you can take the phono input straight to a computer. Really rather clever, if not "old school".

    Did you have the hands free option?
