But if you are only converting vinyl to digital, you don't even need the
amplifier. The line out is from the
preamp, not the amplifier. So now you can save the bux on the amp get a
really great standalone preamp!
And professional patch cords with gold plated connectors, and a 78 rpm
stylus (if you're going back that far) and...
Chuck, I'm pretty sure this is the logic for a traditional system.
Please correct me if I'm wrong:
LineOut --->
[Soundcard...software.. CD burner, etc.]
|
[Turntable]---> [Preamp --^--> Volume & Tone controls] ----->
[Amplifier]---> [Speakers]
You can read up on preamps by searching eBay for "Phono preamp".
There are two RDX-150s that started this thread on eBay. Amazon price
is better.

If you have an Integrated Amp or Receiver (Integrated Amp has Pre-amp and

monitor out jacks (RCA) to your sound or sound/video card. You may need
a cable the converts the RCA to the input on your sound card. Adobe has a
great editing program called Audition (299 list) that will do more than
you will probably ever need to do in capture and editing. A great
resource (although aimed at dvd recording) is www.dvdrhelp.com. Not to
turn this into an audio forum, but if you want a great sounding stereo on
a reasonable budget purchase a receiver with the best pre-amp in your
price range. Just like programming G.I.G.O. A really clean pre-amp can
make a marginal power amp sound awesome. All the power amp does is amplify
what the pre-amp gives it. If the signal from the pre-amp is not clean the
music will be distorted, even the cleanest of power amps can only amplify
the signal provided to it. l
