That's great that it eliminates the need for an amp or a pre-amp, but my way (connecting to the line-out jacks on an amp) only cost $3 for the Y-adapter cable from Radio Shack to the mic input of the iMac, and works great. I thought about getting an iMic, but couldn't see spending that much money on something that wasn't really necessary. In my case, the receiver I'm using occupies the same amount of desk space, and the turntable fits neatly on top of the receiver, using the same amount of real estate that the turntable alone takes up. Of course it's twice as high, but saving $35-40 is worth it to me. Gerry -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
