    Tape to Mp3 Mac?

    My first question was is there a device that exists to do X, Y & Z and I just got a blank look! :oops: I got the feeling they meant they THEY didn't stock such a device but low and behold they DID stock tape to Mp3 devices....Hmm! Thanks again, can't wait to get my treasured vinyl collection...

    What is your collecting holy grail?

    My 'holy grail' is anything Peter Gabriel/Genesis/King Crimson but i have owned all the Zep records at one time or another. I got my Classic Records Peter Gabriel 2 set from a US website called acousticsounds.com but had to pay a hefty import charge to the UPS man when he delivered it! They're...

    Tape to Mp3 Mac?

    Thanks for all these suggestions. I have gone ahead with the iMic option because it seems the simplest and yes, it's slightly cheaper than any other method. I was given advice from Super-Fi who suggested firstly recording my vinyl onto cassette and then to buy a tape to mp3 converter. I was not...

    Tape to Mp3 Mac?

    My hifi is absolutely ancient so all it has is AUX which is how I connect my turntable, there are no other line out options I'm afraid. I've heard it may be possible to purchase a portable cassette player and connect that to the mic socket on the Mac and then open GarageBand and record the...

    HELP NEEDED! Technics 1200 Set Up

    Thanks a lot for this. The seller on eBay just emailed and told me pre-amps don't make a difference - the stylus does...Hmm...Not sure about that. Presume the MM/MC depends on the turntable? My current one is MM.

    HELP NEEDED! Technics 1200 Set Up

    Good afternoon, I really need some advice! I'm hoping to buy a Technics 1200 turntable in the next few days, I currently have a turntable with built-in pre-amp which connects directly to the AUX on my hi-fi (I have no PHONO on this hi-fi). I obviously know the Technics has no built in amp, so...
