I'm not reasonable. I had a $600 turntable in the early 70s. This was when a new Corvette cost $3000. I don't see any point in a cheap solution to extract "good enough" sound from an LP. If you only have a few LPs that you care about, borrow a good turntable, preamp, and sound card. Or buy the CD

Hi moley6knipe Thanks for the advice, I've stripped out the v1 tags and SC nows sees the v2 tags instead. It does seem strange that you cannot control which tags SC uses, I can appreciate that the powers-that-be at SC do not want it to become a fully-fleged tag editor (although it would be handy

Because that CD has only been submitted by one person, and they did not rip the whole CD (perhaps did not want the other tracks). -- spoon Spoon-www.dbpoweramp.com spoon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member

All of the above observations and comments are absolutely correct from the perspective of a true audiophile. As I said in my post, I prefer the sound of my 30 some year old Sony with a good cartridge, but the T.90 gives completely acceptable results. I use Magic Audio Cleaning Lab 12 for recordi

I recently looked into this, for the same reason. I decided not to buy a USB turntable (which often come with line-level output, rather than phono, as well as the USB port), because my Audiolab amp has a good phono stage in it (I believe). I thought that a USB phono stage and interface built into

But we don't know how good the USB interface on the Stanton is :) Anyhow, you can get a Turtle Beach card for $50 which is pretty decent (or check ebay for used M-Audio/Turtle Beach gear). Guitar Center will sell you a nice Behringer preamp for $20. Leaves $230 for a used turntable and new needle
