'CD-like quality'...???


Sorry, I meant purely in terms of (lack of) noise - not musical
quality!


As to whether or not an RCM is worth it kinda depends on what you
have in the way of records. I have at least 3,000 discs (Swim says
4,000 - I ain't counting them) most of which came from charity shops.
Despite many of them being *unplayed* there was still the grime of
ages on a number of them and even mould on a few - for me there was
no doubt that an RCM would be useful/necessary....



Well that brings me back to my original post - I currently only
have about 50 LPs I want to transcribe to CD-R (though I'm buying more
and more at the moment), so splashing out £1500 on an RCM might not
seem very cost-effective. However given the seeming lack of any RCM
retailers or service in my area (north Lancs/south Cumbria), I can see
a potential business opportunity! (Not that I'd give up the day job,
mind!)





Jeezus! Who's talking about **1,500 quid** FFS!?

A Moth record cleaner like mine:

Will cost 'from 450 quid' made-up/ready to go or 'from 255UKP' if you
have got the nouse to make a simple box from a single sheet of ply!! (I
believe the kit even supplies sticky corner strips to make the box
with!!??)

Keep it real....
