hi, I was wondering if there are a lot of users using the Accession MM and which ADC they are using between their preamp and their computer?

I use a Lexicon I-O 22, which I got when I was using a Reflex M as the 22 allowed adjustment of levels. With the Accessions of course this is now redundant because the variable output on the Accessions allows level setting.
You can see/hear the I-O 22 in action here: https://vimeo.com/299166526 - https://vimeo.com/299166526

That looks good Bob. If it helps Joe I record from my Accession into a Zoom H2N (recording volume on zero so level can be adjusted on the Accession) using an SD card which I then plug into my computer to copy the files. I use 48kHz WAV and have had a few years of enjoying the results of this simple, relatively cheap device I can leave on my hi-fi rack.

I use an M-Audio Profire 610, both this and the Lexicon are discontinued but may be found secondhand on ebay.
In the prosumer line of studio interfaces, Focusrite and Presonus also have offerings that might suit.
Going markedly more upmarket into Pro Audio interfaces, RME, Lynx, Benchmark and Mytek are ones I have considered.
Some require Firewire and others are USB.

sorry, I’m a little confused. What cable is used between the Accession and the Zoom?
Thanks Joe
