OT--USB turntable

[clare]

Not perfect, but it works. Might need a pre-amp with a mag cartridge. Or use a cheap turntable with a Xtal cartridge.

It will if you plug the receiver into the sound card. That's how I've been doing it for years.

Well, looks like you might have a chance to sell it now if you'd like :-)

I use a small phono preamp that provides RIAA curve equalization and output to the PC's sound card.

Right, same difference.

I wonder if you can even buy those little preamps anymore? Used to be able to get them even from Radio Shack (ugh).

There are quite a few on the market, some costing hundreds. This is the one I have.

Another thing to consider is s/w to separate an album to individual tracks and probably some depopping s/w unless your vinyl is pristine.

I'm just guessing that for $75 you're not going to get a really high quality turntable. He'd probably be better served by spending his money on a really good sound card for his computer and using whatever turntable he already has, unless it's a real POS.
