i'm no audiophile really!
I use a "real" turntable, an old school one, hooked up to a stereo
amplifier and couple that to my USB port using a Griffin iMic by using
the tape outputs of the stereo amp. Griffin has some free software
that allows any old school turntable to connect directly to the iMic,
providing proper equalization to the audio signal with the need for
having to go through a stereo amp or preamp in order to achieve said
equalization. I just do not like their software as it is not very
controllable or flexible enough for my taste.
There are USB turntables available, but I do not know how good
their cartridges are. That is why I use my old stereo component
turntable, because it has a very high quality cartridge. Perhaps one
can put any cartridge of their choice into a modern USB turntable, I
just don't know.
