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...

for the job in my home studio. But, my turntable and record
collection is just about as far from there in my house as is
possible. I don't want to move either set of gear. Instead
I want to get sound adapter for a laptop I've got and do the
ripping at the location where my turntable resides now. My
laptop has USB. I don't know if it's USB1 or USB2. But, I can
get a cardslot to USB adapter for cheap, if need be.
The Terratec Phase 26 USB is very good value for the money IMO, if you
buy the unbundled version without Windows software. It also has a
phono input and a phono pre-amp, so you could directly connect your
turntables to the card. RIAA equalisation however is done in the
MS-Windows software of the Phase 26, so you'd need to use a software
solution for that as well. I'm not sure, if gramofile can do that
automatically, if not, there's a LADSPA plugin somewhere.
Or use your existing hifi amp between the turntable and the
soundcard.
Ciao
