I'd like to digitise a couple of LPs, and have the facility to do a few
more as and when. I'm looking to get a standalone unit as lashing up the
computer is inconvenient, plus I like the idea of having the tracks on the
device or portable media like an SD card.

Any recommendations please? I was thinking of maybe up to £200 new or
secondhand. This looks to be OK, but does more than I need:

Tascam is a very good choice.

But the SD-20M has facilities that you probably
don't need. It is 4 channel, and has XLR mic inputs with
phantom etc etc

I use SS R100 (which has storage on SD CF or USB in
.wav and .mp3 format) as a stand-alone master recorder.
It is a bit more expensive but good used units are to be
found on E-bay.

Take a look at the Denon DN 500R also.


Thanks - they look to be good. I've also seen 'scratch recorders' that
seem to fit the bill - Roland AR3000R and Marantz PMD 560. The obvious
difference is that they're 16 bit (as opposed to 24).

Without wishing to get into too much of a debate, might that matter?

The other things are ease of use, and the reliability of things like the
level meters.
