Both sound similar, quality wise tbh.
hope it helps anyone who needs to rip something off vinyl or tape etc. Took a while to be able to get it rght most times, as im not very good usually at these things.
Ive a few old tapes of family stuff i should be able to do now I know how
Great guide. I have been meaning to transfer my vinyl to computer for ages now. I bought a Terratec Riia to USB device 10 years ago. I ripped a few tracks theough the MC cards in a Nac 62 into that and it sounded far better than you would have thought. The cart was a Denon 103R on a Morch UP4 arm on my "supered" Thorens TD 160 mk ii. Now I have an ESI Juli@ sound card and Vinyl Studio so I can start any day I want ... I just would like a new cart to begin with.
Thanks sure the better everything is the better chance you have. Really quiet tt and cart will be biggest bonus
try.....Mike Henderson and the Blue Bloods.
ive heard one album of theirs.. cant remember name tho.. was ok actually.. rock blues
Edit.. it was first blood
I can vouch for the Synology units. I use 2 (double) drive boxes myself.
I also do IT support for small businesses and regularly deploy the Synology 218 to centralize file storage and simplify backups. Never given me a problem in the past 10 years i have been using them. Still got my first unit so given 10 years use they are great value.
In my home they are connected direct to my router and supply all my music via wifi to many different devices and streamers. Also have cloud access to it setup so i can play my music when away on hols.
Like Grant i use Vinyl Studio to rip my records and the Synology's keep the rips nice a secure via its inbuilt raid system.

Nice overview Grant. I know lots like Audacity (and it is very good) but Vinyl Studio is way faster to use and the artwork and track splitting/listing really is nearly as good as cd ripping.
I have rarely found the need to use the track cleanup after ripping cleaned records but find it useful for some older rarer records which are in not so good condition.
For the digitizing I use a Furutech GT40a but a cheap Rega phono mini A2D is a great way to get into vinyl ripping. It only handles CD level resolution and not 24 bit - however i wonder how many would really hear the difference if not asked to compare. I tend to capture the rip in 24 bit as you do but then deploy it in Apple lossless for cloud use (all conversion done as part of Vinyl studio workflow of course). I do this as my main IT system is Apple (or Linux) based so I have used iTunes for too many years to want to move away from it. Of course the Synology NAS lets me put DSD etc into the mix.

I use my project ds2 usb stage... great bit of kit.
decided to quick change carts. put my Shure 55 on. its already set up on same headshell so just have to do a quick check the set track weight and check the bubble for level.
great cart with an original stylus
