Thanks, Ralf! I suppose the motherboard manufacturers use the
cheapest they can get away with, to keep the price down. As you say,
fortunately it's easy and relatively inexpensive to replace that
with something better.
For producing music IMO it's better to spend some
more money, if
possible.
I agree there, but in my case I knew I'd just be digitizing existing
recordings.
Regarding to your stereo, there are many components
that "make" the
sound. For turntables it's not only the cartridge, but also the
pre-amp's equalization.
I know! I'm aware my cartridge, turntable, preamp, and the rest of
the system aren't high end, but I tried to buy all components of
about the same quality. If I were to hook up, for example,
outstanding speakers to it, they'd probably show the flaws of the
other components.
