[dba-Tech] Converting LPs into digital audio

Erwin,

Wow, quite a collection!  I have about 150-200 LPs I would like to record.

I have an Onkyo pre-amp at home.  It has a setting for moving coil or moving
magnet.  Am I correct that the pre-amp would most likely have the RIAA
correction that you talked about?

If so, would I then connect the turntable to the pre-amp then the pre-amp to
the line-in of my Creative Audigy 2 ZS?

Thanks,
Bobby

1) When connecting a recordplayer directly to your computer you gonna nee a
pre-amplifier with RIAA correction. You could by these at Radio Shack (15
years ago, because they don't exist anymore in Belgium), but you can find
them elsewhere if you look hard enough. By a good RIAA pre-amplifier. The
quality of your digital file will depend on it greatly. When using a
pre-amp, connect the turntable to the RIAA preamp en the RIAA preamp to the
line in of your computer (NOT the micro= distortion).
