You can get a Soundblaster Audigy PCMCIA for less than 100 $ I think, it got just one input but the quality of record and playback is fine. You also have 5.1 or 7.1 output or so with that if you need it later. I think its supported by alsa as well. The MAudio Fasttrack I can recommend as well regarding the quality, but just for recording in wav quality with 2 channels there are cheaper solutions which will work...<br>

</div>The Terratec Phase 26 USB is very good value for the money IMO, if you<br>
buy the unbundled version without Windows software. It also has a<br>
phono input and a phono pre-amp, so you could directly connect your<br>
turntables to the card. RIAA equalisation however is done in the<br>
MS-Windows software of the Phase 26, so you'd need to use a software<br>
solution for that as well. I'm not sure, if gramofile can do that<br>
automatically, if not, there's a LADSPA plugin somewhere.<br>
<br>
Or use your existing hifi amp between the turntable and the<br>
soundcard.<br>
<br>
Ciao<br>
