Hallo,

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?
So you need new hardware anyways. In that case I would recommend a new
receiver or hifi amp. Then just try you Denon with it. I never used a
turntable with built-in preamp and thus I don't know, what might be
the reason for your Denon's failure.
I have a pretty standard hifi amp with several line connectors for
things like CD player and two tape decks, of which one tape can be
switched to record what is currently playing. It also has a phone in.
oh! I also have the output for tape deck on the receiver!!! in the
meantime I returned the denon, I guess I'll get a slightly better
turntable and use the receiver after all.
thanks for reminding me what I have:-)
