Griffin iMic &amp; Turntable Grounding Cable: Will it be possible to transfer vinyl music solely using the iMic and the grounding cable?

Thank you! I finally solved the hum problem by plugging the iMic into "Line Out" on my amplifier instead of directly into my turntable. The hum disappeared! Hope you got your hum solved, too. Maria

Steve, the recording quality was very bad and we ended up returning the unit. My older sister has an immense album collection we want to convert but we are still looking for a good quality converter and have yet to find one. This has been some years now since we started looking. good luck mc

Try these links, I think it has what you are looking for. One is for the turntable/hardware and the other is for audio conversion software.Good Luck!http://www.ion-audio.com/products/details/iprofilehttp://www.ion-audio.com/ezvc

i actually use another rca line input and use the pre amp from my turntable with an in line booster (between turntable and 5000) and it works much better than the phono input on the 5000. i was getting a humming noise using phono input. your setup might be different though. either way my vinyl sounds awesome now!

I have never tried this, it doesent work like a transfer cable in that manner it is anc converter from analog to digital music.

I set my system up not to create a digital server simply because while I love music, I do so many other things that I simply want to spin my vinyl collection and enjoy the sound. I don't want at this point to bother with transferring from one medium to another but I would venture to speculate that if your vinyl is in pretty good shape you will be surprised how good the rips will sound with this very inexpensive device. It was developed for people to pipe vinyl to a computer sound card so the processing that occurs seems to take bad signal out and leave behind good sonority. How exactly the circuitry works isn't completely swear because ya gotta remember that this device takes in analogue does something to that signal and puts out a cleaner analogue signal. Whether it's got two simple DACs inside or just analogue filters I really don't know. If you are a fanatic, which is your call, then a device known to produce and output a digital signal into one of the available digital formats might be more up your alley. That device is gonna be pricey. All I can say is that when I spin vinyl that I bought in college over forty years ago and pipe it to my power amp and my big vandersteins, If I close my eyes I can't be sure if it's live or memorex!!!

Hey Geron, you can't use that turntable with new receivers. Older receivers had a phono preamp but not the new stuff. There is a headphone jack that you could hook up a speaker to, but I wouldn't suggest it. The jack is a large one, so cables could be an issue. I would get an inexpensive surround sound receiver to link it up. Email me at tundrausher@yahoo.com if you have more questions. Good luck.

as mentioned and answered before you can run it into the technical pro receiver... I would recommend using an equalizer and run the record player (turntable) into the eq then the eq into the receiver to amplify the signal.. most earlier receivers had an amplified rca input for "phono" that amplifies the signal from a turntable. most newer receivers sometimes don't have this option. you may not get the desired results if the unit does not have a "PHONO" input... you will get better results using something to amplify the signal and shape the sound. more bass, mid and treble to really bring out the sound of your vinyl... DO NOT USE AN EQ IF THE UNIT HAS AN " PHONO" INPUT.. IT WILL OVER AMPLIFY THE SIGNAL AND DISTORT. as mentioned and answered before you can run it into the technical pro receiver...

I never attempted to do that since there is no external port for such connection on my mixer. i suggest that you do your external motoring via your computer and iPad.

My vinyl to pc capture was pre hdmi. I used rca to pc audio input. Software must have vinyl clean up feature.outcome is not high quality, but provided a clean retro sound on cd for a friend who's father recorded the album for her. sorry, HDMI audio in from rca...haven't tried. Maybe Audicity could help

Yes you can. Turn on the Easy Vinyl application but do not press record. This will allow you to listen without yet recording to transfer to your computer.

No, I don't but it is possible to connect turntables that have RCA plug outputs into the inputs so the signal can be entered into a computer program.Personally, I only use the outputs which go to sound equipment such as a mixer.

This is not the right cable - it is designed to convert a traditional turntable phono connection to USB - you are looking for something the does the opposite. I did a quick search and didn

Do you need a pre-amp to work with this - connect turntable to pre-amp, connect pre-amp to INport, connect INPort to iMac......

I agree with commentator Kevin F. The Alesis cable will not do what you want. It takes an analog signal from the turntable and converts it to a USB digital signal for a computer or laptop.
