Most phonographs require some sort of equalization in addition to amplification I'm remembering the Naim amp I had years back, when I upgraded the cartridge on my turntable from a moving coil to a moving iron, I had to also change a circuit board in the pre-amp of the Naim amp, otherwise the speakers could have blown across the room. Or so he said. Yeah, thanks for bringing that up, cause this guy's got a USB turntable and I've been meaning to try it out. I presume all that stuff would be handled in the analog to digital converter or do you use an analog input of the sound card in your computer? -- Chris. == I contend that we are both atheists.
