So just to clear up a logistical question: If I were to buy a record turntable and phono stage (or the Audio Techinca LP120 which has both built in), then I could connect it to any digital output, like headphones or speakers? Would the headphone / speaker jack (1/8 inch) connect directly...- akong

I'm not sure :P It has the two red and white RCA inputs - is that it? Under $300 sounds like a good benchmark. And by high value, I meant bang for the buck, not the most valuable :P Thanks for the help!- akong

The vinyl sounds much warmer and full. I had always wanted...- akong

Since you're concerned with looks, I'm assuming you'll be using these on the go, or at least where other people can see and therefore hear you. If this is the case, then Grados are most definitely not what you are looking for - they are open air, which means that you will hear everything around...- akong
