Re: New Vinyl Getting Skips

WC - The signal is going from the tt to the pre-amp to the sound card to the lap top. I've got stereo in my headphones but not Audacity. Maybe be I have to configure the pre-amp in control panel? It - the pre-amp - is not showing up in devices. On another question, what needle would you recommend fo...

Re: New Vinyl Getting Skips

WC - I played with the RCA cables and now I'm getting stereo through my head phones but no Audacity. Maybe I have to configure the pre-amp to take stereo on the lap top? On Audacity I'm getting a very narrow blue line. But that's after I've set the gain trim to -2. When I crank the gain trim I get a...

Re: New Vinyl Getting Skips

WC - When I say there was no stereo I meant I had none in my head phones or Audacity. I'll check the needle. I did remove it the other day. I might not have re-installed it correctly. (I'm thinking of upgrading it to.) Regarding the gain trim, I couldn't get enough volume unless I set it all the way...

Re: New Vinyl Getting Skips

Wax - I bought the Artcessories DJ pre amp and set it up. I went TT to pre amp to sound card to lap top. The sound was good but I didn't get stereo. Then I tried to go TT - receiver (which has some issues) - pre amp - sound card - lap top. I didn't get stereo either and, got very little volume. Any ...

Re: New Vinyl Getting Skips

The Skips were caused by the USB TT cheap, half-sized platter. When I put my new vinyl on my old marantz TT there were no skips. Thanks for everybody's help on this. For recording, I'm going to try the TT through pre amp through sound card. Prosser99 8-) 8-) 8-)

Re: New Vinyl Getting Skips

Ok Steve, Wax, and Whomper. Thanks for your help. I'm going to get a new pre-amp, vintage amp, and cartridge. That should give me plenty of sound quality. It will also give me the chance to hear the music through a basic tt - amp - speaker set up. You guys run a good forum here. Quick and useful res...

Re: New Vinyl Getting Skips

How important is a good TT? I have an old dusty Marantz. Seems to work fine. Only problem is the cartridge which I plan to upgrade.

Re: New Vinyl Getting Skips

Would my Behringer UCA202 sound card work in the TT to Amp to Sound Card combo? The sound quality is much better??! Cool. Then I'll do that. I need a new cartridge. I can get one for 17 or 45 bux in downtown Sac. Is it necessary to get the high end cartridge? Do I need a high end amp? I don't want t...

Re: New Vinyl Getting Skips

thanks for your response. I may just try to forget the USB TT. I did buy a Behringer UCA202 sound card because of a Audacity forum recommendation. Can I send a non USB TT to a amp to my Behringer UCA202 to my laptop? Will that work? Prosser99
