Hello Arthur, do not be fooled. those turntables are just a cheap and nasty desk with a usb. All you need is a mini-jack to phono connecter and feed your deck into your pc. That is all the usb guys are doing. Depending on your head and the impediance, you may be better off taking a line output from your amp. All you get with those decks is the nasty deck and a piece of open source software. My father - in - law purchased one a few years ago. After realising the enormous task, he simply switched plans and instead decided to listen to his music.
