Thanks but as you say that is definitely more expensive that what I am looking for. It terms of functionality I am looking for something like these but more hi-fi ish https://www.amazon.co.uk/Behringer-VMX100USB-Channel-Pro-Mixer/dp/B003E1OVTI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1511952167&sr=8-1&keywords=behringer+vmx100usb https://www.amazon.co.uk/ART-USB-Phono-Plus-Pre-Amplifier/dp/B000BBGCCI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1511952192&sr=8-1&keywords=art+phono+preamp In both cases these will do exactly what I want but ideally I'd like something more ergonomic for the Living Room rather than a DJ Mixer or the ART box - the latter would need power supply as I don't intend to leave the USB permanently connected to a laptop.
