How about trying VHS Hi-Fi? Fresh high quality blank tapes are still readily available, and the machines weigh a lot less than a Studer and cost nearly nothing.
Best recording
What is the best way to record and archive vinyl music? Here are my choices:
1 Korg Mr1, DSD recording
2 Studer Revox A77 modified, analog recording
3 Creative Audigy, pcm 24/96 recording
4 Sony DAT DTC-ZE700 (Dat recorder with super bit mapping, 20/48)
5 Ordinary CD
6 ;mp3
(I havent really a-b-tested the all-analog Revox to digital sources, just my impression).
