Maybe, maybe not, the question doesn't arise in the first place. If you have a good quality old analog turntable, why on earth would you shell out for another lousy one with unknown Linux compatibility just because it has a USB plug on it? If you are into audio, you have a decent quality sound card. Hook up your turntable to your amp (which it is already), hook up amp line-out to soundcard line-in, run your favourite recording app, done. Well sort of done, then you do the job of digitally enhancing the recording before putting it into your archive. Unfortunately there isn't any good quality audio software around. Quick-job open source audio filters are probably barely what you want, however if you don't care you're set to go. Note that simply chopping a continuous recording into track-like pieces is the trivial bit, there are numerous programs for that (I made one too).
