I've got a number of MDs that I made of my vinyl that I can't easily replace
(no turntable!) so in addition to making duplicate MDs and putting the
originals away, I'd like to make CD copies of them as well.
This is the equipment I've got: Sony JE-510, Harman Kardon AVR-500 receiver
(optical and co-ax ins and outs), SB Live platinum, and a Yamaha burner. The
JE-510 has an optical feed to the AVR-500, which has a co-ax feed to the
soundcard. I shut down all the inputs but the S/PDIF in and recorded a WAV
with CoolEdit2000. After that's done I break it up into tracks at my leisure
and burn the files to a CDR.
I'm curious if the signal is undergoing conversion to/from analogue at any
point. I know that it doesn't in the receiver, but I wonder about the mixer
in the soundcard. One promising sign is that as long as the record level is
at 100% in the mixer, the record level indicator readings in CoolEdit are
identical to those on the minidisc deck. I know that the SB Live isn't the
best card in the world for this kind of thing, but I've got to work with
what I've got at this point.
Any comments or thoughts are welcome.
Rick.
