Ripping vinyl

Boing Boing mentioned From Vinyl to Digital, Hold the Crackle a couple days ago and I finally got around to reading it.

The NY Times article mentions the iMic from Griffin Technology but gets so many details wrong it's almost unbelievable (the company name, company URL, and so on). They certainly didn't discuss actually using the iMic. Yes, you can use the iMic alone, but it doesn't have enough amplification to deal with a phono connection nor does it have RIAA equalization. As I mentioned last April, you need a preamp, and I recommended the DeeJayPRE Phono preamp which still seems like a good choice.

Enjoy the article, but take it with a grain of salt.
