One thing I noticed, however, is that when I turned on my turntable and simply hovered the needle over the record, my input levels were jumping around -42 to -48 db. That's unusually high, isn't it? *EDIT* Fixed this by turning down the mic slider in audacity and just raising the gain knob *EDIT* I...

The other important thing to note is that unless you tell it otherwise iTunes will use a virtual library by default. That is it will not actually import the files into its library but will just make reference to where they are stored externally. Which means that if you have that setting then you mus...

When "listening to an LP" what is connected to what - and what with? Debut Carbon --> RCA --> Phono Box --> RCA --> Schiit Asgard Headphone Amp to headphones or Onkyo Receiver to speakers. This doesn't give a perfectly black background of course...there's some hiss. It just seems that thi...
