Steve, As soon as both my father and I both have spare time together I'll let you know how it goes. His turntable is connected through an amplifier to speakers so I was thinking of taking a line out off the amplifier (as I have been informed the turntable will probably not generate enough by itself). I am not sure how the quality of it all will go or not but as long as it's usable I'm sure the parents won't mind. Regards, Jared Norris
