    you'll want to find something with RCA outs at least or if you want a better connection find a preamp to sweeten the sound.

    Many professional turntables have these features but the needles are very agressive. I use my cheapo crap needle AT through my receiver and out to my preamp into my computer to do it, but the sound quality ain't great.

    My favorite turntable is the Technics SL1200 but they are expensive plus you need to find a good needle. I'd just find some average Turntable around 100 or 200 bucks with RCA's and then you can find some warm preamp like a Bellari or something like that to sweeten it before it goes to the cold digital computer.

    yeah that's a good option, it's built by the same people that build the DJ turntables for NUMARK I think.

    there is a good one at costcos right now
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    I just saw this one today. It records to wav, too. $169.00.

    I guess it also depends on how many vinyls you want to convert. If you only have a few, check with local electronics companies who convert VCR tapes to CD. There is a guy near me who converts each vinyl to CD for bucks.


    I have hundreds of records,,, ha,, I need a live in tech to get those things on CD.
    I have an elderly neighbor behind me who has literally 10,000+ jazz albums, tapes and even 78's. He's slowly doing it with a regular old turntable, tape deck and a Phillips CD burner, not even using a computer. The quality of the CD's are good!
