I'm not exactly sure how to ask this, but I'm hoping to get some
pointers to more information and some advice. My son is asking for a
turntable for his birthday. I assumed it was to access music he can only
find on vinyl, but he says it's for higher sound quality than he can get
off of CD's or
Youa re going to get conflicting responses about this. Some will advocate a
USB Turntable for the PC, but I personally think that defeats the purpose of
why one would want such a thing. Yes, fidelity is higher with Turntables,
open reels, etc.
A PC would need a phono input to plug a
Oops, and inmy last message, I forgot to explain why USB Turntables aren't
all that great, and that is because they're not built for fidelity, rather,
they're built for in-expense, E.G. poor preamps.

it has to do with the quality of sound card and the quality of cartridge in the
turntable. Stanton would be a good quality cartridge, and some type of delta sound
card with balanced ins and outs would be a good quality setup.

And I believe ceramic cartridges also!

Hi. In short the answer is yes, you will always get superior quality
reproduction from dedicated Hi-Fi equipment. There has been and still is a
raging debate between the exponents of Vinyl and CD. For the most part this
debate is purely subjective since it really depends on your preferred
Thanks Walter!
Let me be Glib!
A turn table with a ceramic cartgidge is comparrable to a CD player playing
quality mp3 files ripped onto a compact disk.
Your Son will find no joy using todays crappy USB turn tables.
If your going to do this then at least make sure you find a classic mid
OK, thanks for all of the great advice! One question, assuming I have a
good quality sound card, could I pull my 25 year old Pioneer out of the
closet and hook it up to my PC? Would I need any equipment between the
turntable and the soundcard in the PC?

More than likely, you will need a phono pre-amp. Some inexpensive turntables
have a built in one, but the higher end ones didn't. If you have to connect
the turn table to the phono in on your amplifier or receiver, then you will
need a pre-amp to use it with your PC.
Hope this is helpful,

you are going to need a good preamp. once you hook up a preamp, then you
have to determine if you have a moving magnet or moving coil cartridge. the
latter will require a head amplifier. I have not known pioneer to come
equipped with a moving coil cartridge.

Get a optamod equalizer as well and put it into the circuit, so that you
can shape the audio to your liking, heheheh.

Sound Forge is on version 9, though I use eight for my main tasks. Version 9
isn't as responsive, though I have yet to try it on my computer which is in
the process of being built.
Thanks a lot.

The best way to do the vinyl versus CD test is blind, not knowing which
you are hearing. If you do multiple, unpredictable trials of this manner,
you will get a more unbiased opinion when you formulate one.
