Thanks for the link, I might have a look at the MSB PAD once I'm done testing the E-MU. When I was out the other day I upgraded and threw out all of the less quality components, still leaving me with the need for a new amp. Might get that fixed soon so any hints regarding ADCs are still more than welcome. I'm in Europe so importing US hardware might be a bit pricy.

I'm about to get a new cartridge on Saturday - hope to get it set up right. I also had the cables replaced some years ago (it's a second hand turntable). My channel imbalance comes somewhere right from the turntable - I had it with this preamp as well as some Roland device plus in a tt -> Luxman amp -> ADC setup. Maybe the new cartridge will just fix it - we'll see. Would you mind sharing that ADC company's name? Thanks for all your info. I'll get the Izotope trial version once the setup is complete.

Hello everyone, I've been thinking about posting here for a while now but didn't really know where to start. I guess I'll just give it a try now to finally get things started. If there's something you want/need to know, tell me. What I want to do: get some vinyl digitalized at about 24bit/96kHz with a good, clean, warm sound. Genres: basically everything. country, jazz, death metal, rock'n'roll, you name it. Some of the hardware: turntable: Rega P2 with standard tonearm - channel imbalance I couldn't get rid off (it's there in recordings but not really audible in a "tt -> pre-amp -> amp" setup) - Aiwa AN-11 system will be replaced in any case sometime soon (Shure M97XE maybe?) pre-amp: Pro-Ject Phono Box USB V - internal USB/driver limitation at 16/44,1 - recordings via internal USB interface sound a bit harsh in the high ends - replacement possible or maybe purchase a and connect to Roland UA-55 or E-MU 0404/0204? amp: Denon AVR-1713 - will be replaced when there's an alternative for the current needs speakers: Quadral Korun MK II Software: Audacity, ClickRepair, foobar2000 Though I know this isn't exactly an audiophile setup (to say the least) I'd like to start recording a good bunch of LPs over again soon. Maybe in a "turntable -> pre-amp -> adc -> laptop" or "turntable -> adc -> laptop" setup without going through the Denon AVR. I hope there's a quality way of doing it this way. Now I don't really know where to start with the hardware. The amp needs replacement but that's difficult at the moment due to several connected devices. I might as well live with it for a while but still record the LPs in a higher quality way for future use. By the way: an Okki Nokki RCM will be purchased in a couple of days. Replacing the pre-amp or the turntable is an option, though not preferred. Maybe getting some additional hardware (see above) will solve my problem in a < 500 EUR way? We could go a bit higher but I'd really prefer staying around or below the 500. Thanks in advance for any help with this! // EDIT: messed up the thread title... any way to edit it to ADC?
