With the recent re-release of Iron Maiden's first 8 albums and all 19 singles on vinyl, I have got the itch to get back to buying records
I am in the market for a turntable with good sound quality (audiophile quality preferred but at $300 max not likely) but I also want to be able to rip my vinyl to FLAC.
I have seen the Audio Technica LP120 USB on Amazon for approx $250 which would have direct access to my PC via USB for ripping.
I also read some reviews and am very intrigued by the U-Turn Orbit Plus ($299) which I know would require an ADC.
For ADC's, Behringer makes a U-PHONO UFO202 ($30) and U-Turn recommended the Art USB Phono Plus ($80) . Both look like they will do the job.
I don't mind spending for the U-Turn and adding the extra component if the sound quality on my RIP's will be better.
Not sure I trust the $30 ADC, and I'm not sure I trust the sound quality of the AT LP120 USB.
I have perused some reviews and threads on this site and I was wondering if anyone has either of these combinations and any solid opinions/advice on them.
Thanks in advance (Maiden awaits... )
