JT:
Sorry I haven't figured out how to use the quote feature yet.

You are correct. I did forget a key ingredient in my vinyl to CD cocktail; the mixer. I use a vestax pmc 250 which will set you back another 300.00. I was told however, but have not yet tried, to use channel 1 and 2 which, on the MOTU 828, has a built in pre amp and has 48v phantom power usually used for mics. Thank you for pointing out this oversight.

This method does not have intrinsic noise / hiss / pop / crackle / TTnoise elimination but does transfer the source material cleanly and without adding any noise. I use PCs only and have a great selection of audio editing programs. I have found that the Steinberg series of software work well for my purposes. I use wavelab 4.0 and literally chop off/out the pops and clicks. Usually, I leave in any other anomalies because it is vinyl afterall.
