MOST turntables do not have line level outputs thus you cannot connect most turntables directly to soundcards. Ususally you need a receiver or phono preamp in between.

That's why there used to be a separate, grounded connection for the phonograph on the back of your receiver or amp. Newer receivers often don't have that phonograph connection, and you have to get a separate "phonograph preamp" to convert the output of the phono to line levels. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
