You will find that even if records have been stored securely some dust will accumulate on it and in the grooves. You would be surprised what a difference a newly cleaned record can make.

True though I suppose we all assumed that people keep their records clean <smile>. Since we’ve gone this far - if you want a good quality result - then stay away from those dreaded USB turntables and get a proper turntable along with a good Fono amp though some turntables come with this nowadays. If you have access to a recorder such as an Olympus LS-100 then you’d do very well to record directly to that rather than sample to your computer, you can transfer the recording to your computer from the recorder for the extra work. The Olympus LS-100 will allow you to use 96K sampling at 24 bit which I use to make sure I’m getting the maximum I can out of my Vinyl. I’ll upload a sample of what I’ve done for comment. > On 24 Apr 2018, at 4:27 pm, André van Deventer <andred...@webafrica.org.za> > wrote: > > But even more important than that is that the record must be cleaned > thoroughly before playing it.
