Of course if you've got one of the high end Terratec sound cards you can just connect a conventional turntable straight to that
When you own your own business you only have to work half a day. You can do anything you want with the other twelve hours.

I have a 6fire 24/96, and the ****ing RIAA equalizer is done in software, and gave very poor quality on my old Duron 1300 with an older revision of the filter. For quality records, I'd neither get that USB plastic-bomber nor connect a turntable directly to my Terratec. I'd get an old "Dual" (the brand name) player from the seventies (in fact I own a 1229 - the platter alone weighs over three kilos!) for like ten EUR off ebay, connect it to the Phono in of a stereo amp, and connects one of the tape/record outputs of said amp to my soundcard's line in.
Or get a hardware phono preamp (or build one myself) and use that to connect the turntable to the line in.

Maybe it was my Duron struggling with the load (sure felt like it), or the early filter revision, or both.

It just masks it by chopping up the whole recording with lousy mp3 compression.Originally posted by ND66Looks great, just wondering how well does it remove the nidle noise?

And in 50 years time.... all the cd's will have rotten and there will be just Vinyl left
and whatever the protected format that the corporations choose.
Was looking at this as a preamp

You can select input capacitance, and the rumble removal filter seems to work the correct way (summing to mono below a certain freq). Plus it has balanced outs.
That plus a one of those Shure V15Mxr (if you can still get them would be ideal).
I'm sticking to My RME RPM as it has 2 phono inputs so with a multi track recorder I can record vinyl at double speed.
