Is a popular choice, I don't know how they sound have not shopped for riaa since 1994 .They have an USB model to, if you don't trust the analog in of your PC to record the output. Pro-Ject Phono Box II goeas around 85 and they have some even cheaper models . Don't go to cheap 12y old NAD is still decent stuff, and a good riaa is somewhat demanding with the low voltages involved. They sound really different so take time to listen to them, a model with selectable gain and impedances is prefered , I think some come with possibility to alter the capacitive load for mm pickups MC pickup is the trickiest part to do right. Or NAD PP-2 Phono Preamplifier avaliable at amazon a 265$ Cambridge have one at 90$ RIAA/Phono stage is a jungle , I'm surprised that there are cheap alternatives . I thought phono stage had gone high end boutique stuff only . The subject have been of no interest to me since 1994 so I'm out of the loop regarding what the hottest newest thing. Price wise the sky is the limit. Even if sound is somewhat uncritical, this boxes are small so borrow a handfull from a decent hifi shop and listen to them. Maybe getting a new pickup would be nice, the moving rubber parts tends to dry and the stylys get wear and tear, get a pro to mount it if you don't know how the pickup is mounting is adjustable for a reason. Sadly most people (non audiphiles,that is ) pickups are mounted with gross errors and the weight and anti skating adjustments are out of the window, this damage records . To actually record the output, there is a lot of old treads on this forum on the subjekt with a lot of good advice, a search in the ripping soundforum would certainly give something. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- No it can NOT be controlled with iTunes.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69989
