Any of the magnetic cartridge output are mic level signals. But the also need have major equalization to "undo" the pre-emphasis applied prior to the original cutting. 15 dB boost at 50 Hz, 0 dB an 1 kHz, -15 dB at 20 kHz. Audacity has a EQ preset that seem pretty close. If anyone is interested, I have the parameters for SoX, the cli sound tool. The problem with digitally applying the RIAA EQ is the loss of effective bit depth to allow for 15 dB boost. If you have the option of a decent analog phono pre-amp, that is usually a better choice. But if not, the digital EQ works okay. Record at 24 bit, EQ and down-convert should be fine. *smile* -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
