It sounds much better, and you will be assured that you will actually be recording at 24-bit, not 16.

Sure, it's free, but so is the free version of Reaper. I also recommend you use a different program other than Audacity for the transfers. If you can do 96,000 kHz sampling rate, all the better. And, I highly recommend you record your music at 24-bit. NEVER save to mp3! You will ruin your sound! You will do that later. And, I use the E-mu 0404 soundcard because it is audiophile-grade and will record up to 192kHz. There is just no inner-groove distortion to speak of! I also use the Cambridge Audio 640p phono preamp because it has a ruler-flat frequency response. It has a Microline stylus that mimics the cutter-head and digs down deep into the grooves. I use a Music Hall 5 turntable with an Audio Technica 150mlx cartridge. It will help to tell us what you are using. Good sound starts with your turntable, cartridge, phono preamp, and computer sound card. Works very well, and the record sounds much cleaner than before! For seriously dirty records, consider using wood glue. Believe it or not, I just sprinkle it on the record, rub it in with my finger, and rinse it off in the sink! Then, I dry it with a Scotch lint-free cloth, and blow-dry with the hair dryer. I have a big jug of Nitty Gritty record cleaner. Barring that, use a drop or two of Dawn dishwashing liquid diluted in warm distilled water, and wash with a lint-free cloth, dry with a lint-free cloth, and use a blow-dryer on the cool setting. If you have a $1000 record cleaner, great, if you can afford it.
Well, first, you must start out with the cleanest records you can. If DIY is not in your plans, then the Gram Amp communicator might well prove a good choice, specialised for "hot pressings" and high output cartridges, this unit, was, I believe designed with DJs in mind.ĭepending on your location, you might be able to audition a unit for yourself.Oh this is right up my ally! This is what I do besides my day job and building computers! The Genera is most certainly better than comparably priced "entry level" phono stages from many other manufacturers.

I also have an older but high quality preamp with very good phono section that I purchased secondhand from a professional recording studio, where it had been in use for a number of years - IMO the Genera lost nothing in comparison, other than overall flexibility (the other stage is MC capable). What I will say, is that even the basic DIY Genera will give a better result than many "add in" phono stages in integrated amps and by extension I would it expect it to better many fitted to mixers. There are/will be differences, whether you will notice them, or consider them to be worth the cost, is a judgement for yourself alone, after taking into consideration your ultimate objective in this exercise. That is not a question I can answer for you, nor could anyone else FTM. All quality loss is additive.Īm I going to notice any difference in a higher priced unit. The quality of the original source and mastering may be relevant to the quality it is possible to recover, but has little to do with the mechanics of obtaining the best possible result of retrieving the present analogue signal from the media. OTOH, if you do not, then the results might be pleasantly surprising. I do not recall recommending one - if you already use some physical media cleaning regime, then my suggestion was obviously superfluous. I'm not looking at which record cleaner to get.
