Re: [LAU] Laptop Sound Adapter for Ripping my Vinyl Album Collection

Kevin Cosgrove skreiv: You could check out the Rane Serato SL-1, which is said to work with ALSA and the xwax vinyl timecode system. It is USB, and it has a built-in RIAA amp. I haven't tested this myself, but you might want to look into it. As far as I understand it is detected as a standard soundcard, so it could be used for what you're trying to do, not only for timecode vinyl. Here's a guide on setting it up: http://www.xwax.co.uk/scratchamp.html For a cheaper solution I'd recommend to get a home amplifier with a good RIAA amp, plug it into some good device with a decent A/D converter and SPDIF out (a DAT player, for example), and plug that SPDIF into some mid-range soundcard. DAT players and home amps can be bought second hand pretty cheaply, and I think this would give a good price vs quality ratio.
