The Rino stated he wanted to do this "as cheaply as Possible" I suggested a $150 solution, your idea was for him to spend $190 for the preamp or $449 for the 'real' turntable.

Read my first post. I told him he could do this with under $200.00 if he went about it carefully. Someone could most likely do it for under $100.00. That Ion is so bad that it's not even worth looking at. The $449.00 solution is for a great USB turntable that will not shred your records and which will provide very good sound quality.

I have a Pioneer CD recorder with a Burr Brown ADC. It transfers anything analog stereo (or digital) to CD. The better the turntable the better the transfer. It's a pain doing everything in real time but you only have to do it once with the Vinyl you really want to convert. I got lucky a few years ago and picked up a mint one for $100 (PDR509). MSRP was about $500 new.
The PDR609 is even better, and if you are really into it get a "BURN-IT" by HHB professional recorder that uses pro CDrs. There are plenty to choose from on ebay.
Hellenback's idea is a good one for those looking to do straight transfers. However, be aware that when you do a straight transfer you will still have all those clicks and pops and who knows what else. It's a great solution for those looking to transfer a few LP's and who don't mind the clicks, pops and noise.
If you want to get the most out of the transfers, you will still need to go the old fashioned way though. TT-> Preamp -> PC/MAC -> Post processing -> Burn.
Also, an HHB burner is probably the best you can get to burn CD's.
