Bear in mind that the Xponent is also a dual USB soundcard of reasonable
quality (as long as it doesn't pack in like mine did :) so you don't
need a separate soundcard if you get one of those. Whereas the Vestax
VCI-100 which costs about the same doesn't have any onboard sound.

See I wouldn't go near very cheap decks. Even though the audio fidelity
doesn't matter so much for vinylcontrol use, really cheap/poor decks might
have problems with reliable tracking, holding the groove, holding a
steady speed etc. Bad decks will be more frustrating than using a mouse!

Wasn't the point that he's got one of those and can't get it working,
or am I mixing up two threads?
