The output of the phono stage will be an analogue signal at line level. You could feed this straight into the line-in of an analogue-to-digital converter for recording to the computer. ------------- We do not see things as they are. We see things as we are. |

You need an ADC (analogue to digital converter) to take the variable output from the Accession and give a usb connection output to the pc. I use a Focusrite Scarlett as the ADC which works quite easily. Connection from the Accession to Focusrite uses a phono to jack plug lead. Recording the vinyl to store on the pc could use free software such as Audacity or Vinyl Studio by Alpinesoft which very easy to use. Hope this helps. ------------- Mike Technics sl1210g with Victor U-2 Accession MM, Majestic + Proprius, Solo ULDE Cambridge Audio CXC CD player Lindemann Limetree Bridge streamer Harbeth P3ESR XD paired with 2x REL t5x |

"Audio interfaces" are typically an ADC and a DAC, all in one product and used for both recording and monitoring/playback. ------------- We do not see things as they are. We see things as we are. |

Bring back tape!  ------------- That none should be able to buy or sell without a smartphone and the knowledge in how to use apps |

I agree. It was so much easier to record vinyl to tape. ------------- Reflex M, Solo (both with PSU-1) CuSat50, Lautus, Spatia & Spatia links cables. Ortofon Bronze. |

Tape did need a bias setup and levels being right. Now we can just use a portable digital recorder. ------------- Jon Open mind and ears whilst owning GSP Genera, Accession M, Accession MC, Elevator EXP, Solo ULDE, Proprius amps, Cusat50 cables, Lautus digital cable, Spatia cables and links, and a Majestic DAC. |

And with the variable output from the Accession there's no need for additional attenuators to prevent clipping the input (the one thing that isn't possible to fix in post production) of the portable digital recorder

Musicians use audio interfaces to record instrument performances to a computer. With analogue instruments, plug in a microphone and set the gain level. With digital instruments, plug the instrument into the line input by cable and set the gain level. I've never done it but I think I would be able to work out what to do. ------------- We do not see things as they are. We see things as we are. |
