[linux-audio-user] [OT] recording fom turntable (ripping LPs)

[Erik Steffl]

   so i finally got the recording on sb live! platinum working and I'd 
like to rip my old LP collection. So I bought the only turntable with 
pre-amp I have found, connected it and the sound was terrible (I think 
it was mostly too weak, wasn't even at 50% at max), it's also a cheap 
denon. I connected it to the RCA inputs on the liveDrive (front panel). 
BTW the liveDrive RCA work ok with line6 guitar pod and iPod.

   so my off-topic question is - how to connect the turntable? which 
turntable to get? since I mostly plan to use it to rip the LPs and I'm 
not going to use it afterward I'd prefer cheaper solutions (not the 
denon though:-)

   I also have receiver with phono input (so no pre-amp in turntable 
needed) but I have no way to get the signal out of receiver, it only has 
speaker outputs.

   so I guess I need sort-of-decent turntable with pre-amp or turntable 
plus external pre-amp? any recommendations?

   (and yes, I am using linux box with gramofile, so this is at least 
close to the topic:-)

   TIA
