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.
