I got over ~ 2500 hrs with my Lyra Argo (i) and I don't know how long it would have lasted, as it still sounded great when I traded it for the Delos. I know which LP's I started with at ~900 hrs (est.) I anticipate ~3000 hrs for my Delos, and I sense (hear) no issues thus far at over 2000 hrs. Having been teleworking for the past several months, I've made ~500-600 needledrops, and my personal workflow is pretty smooth.ĭiagnostic note: I'll also soon start using the needledrops to check cartridge wear. VinylStudio can also scan for gaps between tracks, but the effectiveness of this feature depends on the type of music being recorded. I am fortunate in a sense that my "audio room" is adjacent to my office alcove, so I can listen and enjoy the recording music (at lowish volumes) while working. This feature is built into VinylStudio and, if you can locate your album, will pick up all the trak names for you and, in some cases, put the trackbreaks in roughly the right place. It has cost me ~ $0.25/recording thus far.Ĭlick to expand.This is just a hobby (for me, anyway), so concur with the fun element. It really is a very simple unit to use I'm sure there are better ones, but for me its results are exactly what I need. When I do the occasional needledrop-to-corresponding-cd rip comparisons, I've never detected any unusual level differences, either. I just sample what I anticipate to be the hottest track, set and forget like any cassette deck. I do wish the Denon had more resolution with the level meters, but I generally just shoot for -4 to 0 db peaks and it's been fine. I have not run into any gain issues at all (my phono pre is at 57 db gain unbalanced out). I import to my NAS via Apple Music (iTunes) for final assembly, as I'm used to its interface. I've had to use the Click Repair (at various sensitivities) for a few albums, and it does a great job, as well. Occasionally I need to manually input track titles, but still simple.
Processing Note: When processing the wav files, I do not mess with levels in VinylStudio.the only thing I do is cleanup empty space and set/adjust track breaks (in addition to track naming / album art via Discogs - great great feature.).
