I tried my Onyx Satellite as a vinyl amplifier

I dug up an old Daewoo record player and hooked it up in my Onyx Satellite line inputs. I then ran the signal through freeware Vacuumsound vst-pluging emulating RIAA equalization. Afte that, I added a limiter with zero gain reduction, in case of unwanted peaks.

Here's a screenshot of the setup:

I also did some A/B-testing between CD and the vinyl signal: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/992713/No Son Of Mine MP3 vs Vinyl.mp3

The first one playing is the CD, vinyl next.

The results aren't anything amazing, but considering the fact that used $0 and builded this rig from stuff I already owned, I'm satisfied. And now I can listen to Michael Jackson through my monitors 24/7. :lol:
