As a Christmas present, I have decided to convert some my of parents vinyls to CD. In doing so, I hope to remove some of the hiss and clicks you get on old vinyls, and also make sure the contents are preserved - they were either vinyl-only recordings (Tararua College choir, 1961) or unavailable in any other medium these days.
I'll add to this wiki as I go, so excuse the journal-like nature. When I've finished I'll tidy it up, or let a WikiGnome do it for me :)

''It'll be finished soon, and most of it can be condensed down into 'Use decent recording hardware, preamp if possible, gwc will clean your audio nicely, but if you are using 2.6 and an ATAPI CDWriter, use Nero under Windows to burn to CD.'' --DanielLawson

!! Hardware used:
I have a Celeron-1300, running Windows 98 (wait a bit...), which has an SB Audidy 2 Platinum eX. As far as I know, there aren't decent drivers for the Audigy under linux, hence staying under Windows 98. That said, I'm not using it very much - it has RCA inputs on its external unit, which means I can plug my turntable directly in.

Some notes about CD Burning, while I'm here. I burned a copy of my album with k3b, and it seemed fine. It played in my stereo, etc. I checked a few tracks. I then burned another copy, which I took round to my fiancees families place. It wouldn't play in their stereo. Upon closer inspection, it *hadn't burnt*. Same problem I was having with using cdrdao from the command line. I phoned home at some point to get them to play the one I had burned and tested, and it didn't work either!
So, once more, it seems as though I'm forced to say that writing audio cds under 2.6 with an ATAPI cdwriter (not using ide-scsi) is broken at this stage.
If someone can do this reliably (that is, write audio cds under a 2.6.0-test11 or more recent, using cdrdao 1.1.7 or cdrtools 2.01-alpha20, with an ATAPI cdwriter using ide-cd, NOT ide-scsi - I dont care if you can do it under 2.4, or using ide-scsi, or with a scsi cdwriter), let me know how you manage it? Especially if you are authoring audio cds and not just copying them.
