convert the files to mp3s and listen on an iPod, I'd go the cheapest
route possible, because it will not matter...
There are also more expensive solutions which will sound quite a bit
better. Good turntables, phono cartridges, phono preamps and sound
cards cost more money but yield better results. So much of this
depends upon how crazy you want to make yourself and how deep your
pockets are...
I would see if Thor weighs in on this because this is his wheel house
and he knows his stuff.
Thanks, Eric, but that does not take me very far. I own the
turntable, I own an amp, and I probably have the cable, though, if
not, I can pick one up for $5 or so. I do not have an iPod and have
no interest in that as I spend 23 hours a day at my computer. I am
simply trying to figure out a way to rig up my turntable to my
computer to transfer vinyl to the hard drive.
So far, I believe I need to use the turntable hooked by RCA plugs to
the amp, and the amp hooked by those RCA to 3.5mm coax cables.
Then, I need some software to allow the music to flow. Others have
suggested some freeware which will do this.
Am I missing something?
