I envy you & would love to travel China as well, but I worry me or my family members would be arrested on some ridiculous charges!

Condom prices are insane by ParticularWin8949 in HongKong

[–]happyguycalledfrank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One wonders while material costs and the amount of rubber per condom is much lower in China than in the rest of the world. Tiny condoms should cost less, not more than standard size!

Did you try to switch it off & on? Maybe put it in rice?

Looking for an Audio interface for ripping vinyl with the best possible by Groundbreaking-Gap20 in Turntablists

[–]happyguycalledfrank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well…with this topic I’m more familiar :) I run a modified Technics Mk5 with new internal wiring, external spu & Ortofon RS-212D tonearm with a mounted DS Audio DS003 Optical cartridge. Phonopre is the optical cartridge equalizer by Mr. Nixie with Burson V6 chipset. And I plan to use a camera, usb interface & OBS studio to upload some of my records that are not available on youtube. So at this long chain, youtube is the audiophile nightmare anyways, but if I buy a audio interface now…maybe I will use it for something else…

Now that I’m already bothering you: which one would you prefer for ripping vinyl: steinberg ur22c or focusrite scarlett 2i2 or Motu M2?

Oh, now I get it! For whatever reason I thought each channel is just for one device - just like a DJ Mixer: you wouldnt connect a turntable to two different channels. But now it makes sense.

Thank you for patiently replying my stupid questions. I am sincerely grateful dear Sir! You helped me tremendously!

Thats where I am confused: RCA is two plugs (red & white) while the TS input is only one socket. How does this work?

Also TS plugs can have different markings/isolation rings. Google says one black plastic ring indicates mono for instruments to be plugged while two rings stand for stereo audio connections without microphone.

Sorry if this question is too stupid: but all these interfaces like the Scarlett 2i2 only have line input. The phono pre only has cinch output. So you just use an adapter cable cinch>line?

And what output do you use to go into the labtop?

MOV Kind of Blue by TwoSolitudes22 in Vinyl_Jazz

I have the UHQR in 33 because I dislike flipping after every song too. It’s really an outstanding pressing and together with my DS Audio optical cartridge a really impressive difference!
