Hi all,
I've lost track of the thread where Quadophile mentioned using a NAD3225PE as part of their set up.
I'm looking for some basic connection info re: recording vinyl onto CD (ironically, even if my stereo CD was working, it's way too old to play CD-Rs).
Anyway,
I have Sound Blaster Live 5.1, a NAD 3225PE, a Dual turntable, a NAD 6340, a monstrously long stereo (double ends) RCA cable (I have put a 1/4" stereo pin adapter to plug into sound card - not sure which hole tho!), and a lot of vinyl - after living away from this town for a while, discovered used record store still in business, hurrah...
Points - like to know:
which port I use on the sound card,
ummm....where the line out is on the amp.
(I feel like an idiot - PC's are no longer a mystery, on the other hand the back of the amp is a vast darkness full of snakes - guess I've spent a million more minutes taking PC apart and putting together, compared to dragging stereo cabinet off the wall, ack.)
I'm checking out some software as well, if anyone has used Groove Mechanic, let me know what you thought.
I have the standard Windows and Creative recording programs, I also still use shareware Cool Edit 96 (taken over by Adobe, software now costs some hundreds of dollars!). Mostly interested in archiving my albums, antsy playing them because I don't know where to get new needles for turntable.
Also, any info on replacing Sony 1-hole CD player (it seems to be marking my favourite CDs so stopped using it) with something built in this century, cool if it plays both DVDs, music CDs, and CD-Rs - needs to be available in Canada.
