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? (and yes, I am using linux box with gramofile, so this is at least close to the topic:-) TIA erik
