Thanks but again it’s vastly over the top for what I want. The Behringer
UCA202 was about £25. It’s fine apart from being limited to 16/48. It
seems from there it is an enormous jump in £ terms to get to 24bit and
everything is aimed at recording live instruments.

My turntable and cartridge are good and at a level that suits me but
again aren’t stupid money. The turntable is an Onkyo CP 1050 and it’s
running a 70s Ortofon VMS20E. It sounds great to my ears and I suspect
I’d have to spend 3-4 times over to hear much improvement
