Great sound! Of course, if you're looking to use all three into that amp at the same time...Why not just buy a cheap mixer and plug them into that, then run that into the amp? ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2007 09:54:44 -0800 From: Blair Buscareno Subject: Re: [bomp] What do you guys think of this? While I'm glad I have this, I happen to agree with Dave's point. (Like him, however, I may change my mind as I start using it more.) I *used* to run stuff from the old turntable I had in my bedroom to a pre-amp, then to my computer. The problem was that the stereo I had up there - which is where I would do my podcasting stuff - was pretty crappy. The speakers sucked big-time and the rest of the system was pretty lousy, too. For Christmas, I got some nice new speakers for my computer *and* this USB turntable. Add in the fact that there's a 1/8" stereo plug on the front of the Numark USB turntable and I can use it to run some other stuff through and into the computer.

I got one for Christmas. (Well, it arrived a couple weeks late, 'cuz they were on back order by the time I told my mom this would be a good gift.) I set it up last week. I haven't had much chance to play with it yet, but there are some things I don't like: 1) No dust cover. 2) Gain control is underneath in the back. 3) The On/Off button is on the BACK. (Well, at least they put *that* on the top!)

I was using a Firewire sound device, myself. If my old stereo wasn't such a heap, I'd've stayed with the old solution. As to the cartridge, one friend replaced his with a better one immediately. > > 2) if you're going to go though the time and effort > of digitizing your vinyl collection, don't rip > directly to MP3.
