No, the Sony is strictly a turntable with a built-in amp. Standard attachment to the line-in on the sound card. I use Magix software for the cleaning and conversion which has done a good job for me. I've got 75 converted now and only a few hundred more to go. In my case the Sony unit gave me a lot more desk space than my old amplifier and a separate changer. It was worth the few dollars, i.e., <$100.

Does it come with the software that you need to convert a vinyl record to a CD? The ADS Technologies RDX-150 Instant Music device comes with all needed software and is currently $38.94 from Amazon with free shipping. ADS has a bunch of neat gadgets and they are at: www.adstech.com/products/RDX-150/intro/RDX-150_intro1.asp?pid=RDX-150 Jay Ward wrote: Bernie, I recently got a Sony Turntable PS-LX250H which has permitted me to transfer vinyl recordings to digital without an amp. There is a switch setting which permits this and it does work. There also another unit which, unfortunately is at my "winter" home that lets you go from any unit to a USB port digital input. It worked okay for me but not as well as the Sony unit has done. _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2004 10:13 AM To: RBG7-L Mailing List Subject: [RBG7-L] - Re: OT-turntable to PC (change of subject) Bernie: The review (not really an article) is in PC Magazine, issue December 28, page 22.

Karen According to AdsTech, you need to connect your turntable to a pre-amplifier. In my younger, Heathkit days, I had a pre-amp. Now what do we do? 10.
