Whats the best way to digitise your vinyl?

[the_psychologist]

now if you're REALLY looking for the best quality, sometimes old Acid compilation CDs are ****ing treasure troves of unmixed tunes. think of it this way - you're ripping your own vinyl, which may be 15 years old (or more) and has been played many times. when these old CDs (ie Sound of Acid Core - http://www.discogs.com/release/145426) were made, the records or DATs they used for the CDs were of nearly perfect quality. so they were basically set in stone, and never degraded. many of the tracks i've found this way sound much better than the vinyl releases due to lack of wear, direct lineage, not being affected by the vinyl's master/cut/surface noise, etc.. well worth having these CDs now that were in the digital age.

i bet that baby lacks pitch control! and you sure as shit can't scratch. such a funny idea in some ways, but i still want two.

I use a similar chain that works well for me:
-Shure M97 HiFi Needle on Technics 1210
-Cambridge Audio 640P Phono Preamp (no DJ mixer)
-RME Multiface Soundcard
-Samplitude recording software

playing the resulting digital copy from CDR actually sounded better in clubs cause it avoided the bad needles/ inferior preamp stage, going straight to a line level channel.
