I bought an Ion for the wife a few years back and she converted a bunch of her vinyl collection. IIRC we bought some software ("Spin it Again"?) in preference to what Ion supplied. That worked ok The quality is ok on most of the files she got, but I'm sure one could do better with a good turntable hooked up through a decent preamp/receiver or such. I think the sound card in the 'puter is also a big factor. I bought an Audigy PCMCIA off eBay to plug into her ThinkPad for that purpose.

None I have seen will do 78, but they should work with my LPs. seems like a simple solution My pioneer turntable won't do 78s either. I have a stack of 78s that I'd like to convert. I guess I could use my 1950 vintage Monkey Ward multimedia center and cut into the wires from the turntable to convert the 78s. It does 78 and 45 only. Rich's list of Chucktown audio equip is mostly too new for me. But I'd like to have his Pioneer SX-727 receiver. That is right in the vintage I want. My old 626 has been flawless except for a couple lights burning out in 40 years of use. Still have not found a source for the light bulbs. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
