Hi,
At some point I will have to do some high-quality LP transcriptions into Pro Tools. My question is mostly this: do I need to have an RIAA curve preamp or can I run my turntable output directly into a microphone preamp? I'll be remastering for CD so absolutely accurate EQ is not crucial. I can fix it later, or at least I assume I can. Is there some reason to use application-specific phono preamps that I don't know about?
Also, anyone have recommendations for new cartridges that are good quality and somewhat reasonably priced? I have an older Shure V15 and there doesn't seem to be a new version of it.
Thanks,
