Whats the best way to digitise your vinyl?

[RDR]

I record into SoundForge as well and do what I can to manually get rid of clicks/pops and use it to boost the signal that comes in on my soundcard.

Before recording, I give the record a wipedown with some Gruv Glide. I was using a Shure M97X-E to record with - since I understand Eliptical styluses get a better frequency response (but aren't as good for tracking) and it has one of those little brushes in front of the needle to remove dust.

I have it going into a BBE FJB-200x phono pre-amp, which you can pick up for $50, and then into my RME card.

I find this works pretty well and tracks sound good and bumpin' unless the vinyl is in shit condition.

Sounds expensive but sounds just right!

Also+1 for the TEPID (not warm henry... you could overdo that with disasterous consequences) + A small amount of washing up liquid... makes them vinyls sound good as new!!! Plus it looks mad as **** when your doing it.
