About These Clips

The following clips were captured via Dropstation from a professionally serviced Linn Sondek LP12 fitted with a Dynavector XX2 MKII magnetic coil cartridge into a Cambridge Audio Duo Phono Pre-amplifier. Remember, the goal of analog/vinyl capture is accuracy. While this might not be your ideal signal chain don't let that stop you from taking note of the details below and how it differs from your own system (either better or worse).

Our goal with Dropstation was always to be able to capture the details of any system.
