My father is interested in transferring some old records (pre-LPs) into digital audio files.
Although I have done this in the past with audio cassettes, with reasonable results, as I recall the dongle kit I bought years ago to do the same with records was pretty unsatisfactory and is now in a box somewhere I know not where. For example, it used a low bit rate and didn't allow a larger bit rate such as 320 Mbps to be selected, and was generally pretty cheap and nasty.
Has anyone else tried this, and if so can you [dis-]recommend any relevant hardware for under, say, two or three hundred quid?
(I'd go a little higher if absolutely necessary, to purchase an generally agreed market leading choice or professional kit.)
