What is my best bet for getting some LPs digitised ?

Like most foolsxxxx people I got rid of my turntable some years ago.

Interesting question, to which the answer involves more questions:-

How many albums do you want digitised?

Can the albums be purchased on CD?

If you only have one or two albums to convert, probably the cheapest
solution is to find a friendly audiophile to do it for you. Or, if the
albums you want converting are still available on CD, then just buy the CDs,
or get them from your local Public Library and copy them. Our Public Library
in Suffolk will get CDs in to order if they have them at any of their
branches. It may take a few months, but it works.

If you have lots of albums to convert, probably the cheapest option is to
buy a decent turntable. Ebay has lots available. You can then keep it or
sell it again as you wish. If you prefer to buy new, one of the cheaper
Pro-Ject seem to be good value.

Hope this helps.
