I totally have to disagree with the idea of buying an external device to accomplish this feat. I mean, I did it with only a very good turntable, a decent preamplifier and a computer containing a fairly good sound card. The results were indistinguishable from the original. Most new sound cards

Anyone catch the irreverent travel host and world renowned foodie on the Travel Channel last night? He went caving in Jamaica and, from all appearances, had a miserable time. Part of the problem may be that his intrepid guides had him wearing tennis shoes into a muddy cave, no gloves or knee
