Analog to Digital Conversion Showdown

[Sir Thrift-a-Lot]

after some debating with OCCD, he has convinced me that we should do Pulse.  In the end, it's beneficial because we'll all have a high-res digital copy of one of the coolest albums floyd ever put out, and it will shut OCCD's mouth.  so yeah.  i guess i'll do pulse...

Since you put it that way...

I'm in.   Besides, I did some Googling and found out that the vinyl has a track that wasn't on the CD and I also found out to my surprise that it was an analog recording, so I guess it isn't a complete waste of time.

It will be more of a challenge to decide who's drop is better, though.

[Slim-Shaddy]

I definitely want a copy of this once it's done!

[Kingman]

What happened??? Both of you decide to woosh out???

[Sir Thrift-a-Lot]

I was under the impression that BJ was going to take possession of the album and do his drop, then let me know so I could pick it up.   I haven't heard anything from him yet.   The holidays are a very busy time in my house anyway, so I haven't pressed the issue.

yeah, i've been busy as hell.  i actually just got a call to do some conversions, so i'll have to calibrate my turntable and get my stuff setup in the next couple of weeks.  once i have it set up and i do that job, i'll get started on Pulse

Sir Thrift:

I have been listening to the digital drops you gave me on DVD for the last two hours, continuously.  They sound pretty darn good.   If I did not know I would not suspect they were sourced from vinyl,  much less from a humble JVC TT with a AT440.  Well done!

The captain salutes you...

Some of those are on the JVC, but many are on the Fisher that it replaced.   Which ones did you check out?   There is an info file with most.

[Sir Thrift-a-Lot]

Glad you are enjoying them.   More proof that you don't have to spend a ton of money for good sound if you are skilled at component matching.

To help make this process quicker set a price for the recordings and offer to forum members. That way we all benefit.
I'd give $15 paypal for any exelent recording of Pink Floyd.

I would most certainly be in for the same...  I'd go $20 if I thought it'd help get this off the ground!  I know that ain't much, but with enough of us....

haha sorry this never happened yet.  i've been so busy, and my turntable isn't even hooked up at the moment, nor is any of my recording stuff.  i haven't been living in a stable location that allows me to hook up all my gear, so everything's being frankenstein'd.  hopefully in a few weeks i'll have things a little better organized.  just got myself a new yob (job), so a new apartment should be right around the corner.  and i actually don't even have speakers right now (long story, should have new ones soon)

Be that as it may, everyone still thinks you've wussed out.
Sorry.

I won't take cash for doing drops of in print material (at least not drops that will be shared).   I do these for the love of the music.   I am, however,  open to taking donations of the vinyl that I drop.

[Sir Thrift-a-Lot]

If somebody wants to order this and give it to me, I will do a drop for everyone.   It is Muddy Waters finest recorded performance and has never been on CD.

There is a DJ copy on eBay for $50.   I really like to work from promos, but I'm not sold on the condition.   Maybe a better one will come up at some point.
