Hello:
No doubt this question has already been answered a thousand times, but... All I want to do is transcribe vinyl LPs to CD. I've been using the line level inputs on two different PowerBooks (G3 and G4), but can definitely hear the 'loss' in the final product. I'm wondering if an external USB analog to digital device will give better results? The iMic is not (apparently) thought highly of here, but might it be a noticeable improvement over the straight line-in arrangement? And/or is there a relatively inexpensive alternative that would give a superior result? Thanks very much for your time and patience. Peter B. ----- |

You may very well be up against the "crappy a/d converter issue" that many run up against & I'm guessing that the audiophile will be right up your alley. Let us know how it goes.
