Re: [ARSCLIST] Incredible savings on DC6 for this week only

They have the same special on their website, for the download-only version
(no book/no CD/no box), which is fine. But then when you try to buy it, the
$199 price comes up. I e-mailed and will report back if there's an
open-sesame that's not documented.

Richard, good tip on Tracertek. They have an interesting website. One thing
in particular piqued my curiosity -- they sell flat phono preamps (which
are, in effect, high-impedence unbalanced mic preamps) and suggest that
"it's not 1975 anymore" and the "modern" way to transfer records is flat and
then use DC6 for the RIAA EQ or whatever other EQ one desires. This got me
to wondering -- do any of you do it this way? Since there will be such a
stringent EQ curve applied, what sort of peak-levels do you want from a flat
preamp to avoid digital clipping when the EQ is applied? I can see how,
theoretically, a Digi-EQ could be more accurate than an analog phono preamp,
but I've got a couple that sound just fine. However, I can see how this
could be super-useful for pre-RIAA mono LPs and particularly 78's and
transcriptions. Heck, I bet it would be really super-useful for half-speed
transfer of 78's.
