![]() If you would like to have fun on a rainy day, get a phono pre-amp with no RIAA EQ, connect to the scarlett-2i2 as above and try doing the RIAA EQ in software. If you would like to use the scarlett-2i2 as your ADC (the device has good reviews btw), you're much better off getting a good phono pre-amp that will do RIAA EQ, and all you need is to connect the phono pre-amp out to the line input on the scarlett-2i2, and off you go! I went down the path of choosing a phono pre-amp with multiple RIAA EQ settings (ifi-iPhono2) and never looked back. IMO, things like doing RIAA EQ in software when it is readily available in any standard phono pre-amp is asking for unwarranted labor, which mostly ends up in futility. I'm a firm believer, after having learnt the hard way, that any adjustment in audio quality, when digitizing vinyl should be done in the analog domain. arlett-2i2 Can you connect your turntable direct to the interface and use the input gain to amplify the signal from the turntable? If so, how do you connect your turntable to your ADC/usb interface? I understand you need to bypass the RIAA of your phone preamp to do so or eliminate your phono stage/preamp altogether. (.Any views on whether the sound quality from PureVinyl exceeds that of VinylStudio?ĭoes anyone have any experience ripping while using RIAA EQ in software (with either of the 2 software products)? That's where it's nice to have needledrops/cd's that are very similar to provide a diagnostic comparison. I got over ~ 2500 hrs with my Lyra Argo (i) and I don't know how long it would have lasted, as it still sounded great when I traded it for the Delos. I know which LP's I started with at ~900 hrs (est.) I anticipate ~3000 hrs for my Delos, and I sense (hear) no issues thus far at over 2000 hrs. Having been teleworking for the past several months, I've made ~500-600 needledrops, and my personal workflow is pretty smooth.ĭiagnostic note: I'll also soon start using the needledrops to check cartridge wear. I am fortunate in a sense that my "audio room" is adjacent to my office alcove, so I can listen and enjoy the recording music (at lowish volumes) while working. It has cost me ~ $0.25/recording thus far.Ĭlick to expand.This is just a hobby (for me, anyway), so concur with the fun element. It really is a very simple unit to use I'm sure there are better ones, but for me its results are exactly what I need. When I do the occasional needledrop-to-corresponding-cd rip comparisons, I've never detected any unusual level differences, either. I just sample what I anticipate to be the hottest track, set and forget like any cassette deck. I do wish the Denon had more resolution with the level meters, but I generally just shoot for -4 to 0 db peaks and it's been fine. I have not run into any gain issues at all (my phono pre is at 57 db gain unbalanced out). I import to my NAS via Apple Music (iTunes) for final assembly, as I'm used to its interface. I've had to use the Click Repair (at various sensitivities) for a few albums, and it does a great job, as well. Occasionally I need to manually input track titles, but still simple. Processing Note: When processing the wav files, I do not mess with levels in VinylStudio.the only thing I do is cleanup empty space and set/adjust track breaks (in addition to track naming / album art via Discogs - great great feature.).
