I'm not sure what the sound bridge is needed for. I have an Ion turntable and have used it to rip LP's. My only problem was that the name audaciy stuck on the input choice wasn't clear and left me floundering for a while. Once I realized the input to select, it worked just fine. I ran the clean up function that was recommended but I couldn't really tell the difference. Finding the breaks between tracks was a little work as they did not stand out on the visual. It was worthwhile though as it made it easy to write the result to CD as separate tracks.
