Time has come to digitize my Vinyl collection. Having successfully
copied tape material to CD, I thought this would be easy!
My equipment is aDenonDP-35F Turntable with aDenonDL-300
Cartridge, a New ART "USBPhono Plus" interface and a Dell Latitude
D810 Notebook equipped with RIP Vinyl.
This past weekend I copied three albums. The signal is clean but not
strong. I have the gain on theUSBPhono turned to the max. But, the
meter in RIP barely rises about the quarter way mark. If I look at
the signal in Audacity it is pretty "thin". I could comfortably use
at least 3dB more.
Do you have any thoughts on what is "wrong"? And, what can I do about
it? You guys have given me great advice in the past.
Many thanks
You need the transformer that (maybe) comes with your cartridge, or a phono
preamp with a specialised MC (Moving Coil) input. Your MC cartridge has a
very low output compared the the more usual MM (Moving Magnet) cartridges -
I doubt aUSBphono interface would sport this.

So, time to find a Moving Magnet cartridge.
Thanks for helping.
