Published on 05/30/11 at 06:22Use with Timecode and real vinyl. Alternative to buying cd turntables.
Technics turntables, table & H
GETTING STARTED
Simple implementation.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
Pros:
-The sound quality is good with digital uncompressed files.
-The system is time-coded vinyl bluffing, touch is very realistic.
The rest:
-The system is completely robust in use with Timecode: Need for new cells, disk clean (new is better. The change regularly). Dust slides under your cell .. it works poorly. Your vinyl is scratched or dirty Timecoded at 2:51 .. all your songs will bugue at 2:51 in the evening. A small electrostatic parasitic on the left channel of your cell ... your sound will play backwards. In short, as with the use of CD decks.
-This system was not designed to use "traditional" (with real vinyl) because it is impossible to bypass the interface without loss of quality on the phono signal. I am very unhappy about this, hence my note severe. Indeed, to bypass the signal you have two options:
1. Bypass physics, by using "multicore cables" NI home (which will soon disappear from the sale). Whatever you do, the interface significantly affects the phono signal, even passively (cease supplying the interface, usb power supply. Externally, it kif kif). Disconnect the audio cables to the interface, where you find cons with your phono signal pure. Thank you input impedance.
2. Bypass software, meaning you use the preamps and signal processing chain of the interface. (CAN Preamp NAC). In this case you can count on the quality of the components of the processing chain of the interface.
Conclusion: Unable to retrieve the analog signal without phono get hurt.
OVERALL OPINION
For people who do not use vinyl, I think this product can be very convenient.
With CDs timecoded I think that the interface behaves better than vinyl but I have not personally tried. (You can however find the use of CDs timecoded very metaphysical ...)
I do not understand the enthusiasm aroused by this product. I recommend to those who want to play vinyl and are demanding with the sound quality.
Rather buy a good CD player.
