This Rotel Pre happens to have a couple of tape loops.
This then feeds line level RCA into my Rotel RC-1070 Pre Amp. My turntable is a Technics SL-1210GR with an Ortofon 2M Blue cart running into a Cambridge Audio 640P Phono Pre. I'll follow that with a vacuum off on the project vc-s along with a further rinse and vacuum.Ī clean record is by FAR the best way to deal with unwanted clicks/pops/static/hiss rather than trying too hard to remove them after the fact.Ģ.
This will usually be the end of the cleaning step, however if during playback/recording I hear some bad spots or excessive noise then I will lay the record on a mat, apply cleaning fluid and scrub with some force with my tonar wet goat brush to try and remove any more stubborn dirt. I then do a second round with a spray of pure distilled water, a second brush and vacuum that off as well. I have a Project VC-S Vacuum machine and I clean both sides with either Project Wash-It or Lu'Art D'Son cleaning fluid diluted with pure distilled water. Cleaning the record is arguably the most important step of the 'ripping process'. So there IS something to be said for the equipment in this case.ġ. So although music is not about what gear you have, I have to say that unless you are producing results that you would rather listen to over the CD or existing digital versions, then why bother? You'll get bored and give up. I also only used to give the records a hand wipe with a water/IPA mix, which essentially does nothing compared to vacuum cleaning with proper fluid! The rips from the LP5's built in USB simply did not fill me with a sense of satisfaction. Whilst this was acceptable and sounded OK, compared to the set up I have now there is no comparison. When I first starting 'ripping' my dads vinyl collection I was using the USB output on an Audio Technica LP5 turntable. Now obviously sound is subjective but I believe my Vinyl Ripping workflow produces near on unbeatable results and those that hear my rips simply can't believe it came from a vinyl record (but hey ho, their listening experience of vinyl was not with all the obsessive cleaning and high end hifi that we have now).
