I thought you needed a pre amp for this, or does the player have this already?
to summarise: 1) if you take a signal directly from the cartidge on the record player, if you have a seperate record deck where you can do this you must apply RIAA equalisation to the signal, or else there will be a slight distortion in it 2) you can record from a headphone socket or anything else you choose to. However the quality of signal will be better if the path is just through the preamp. The headphone out doesn't give such a good quality signal as it is designed to drive headphones. Also there may be an impedance problem 3) it is possibly worth mentioning that the best quality analogue -> computer recordings are made using a "breakout box" where the analogue signal is converted to a digital audio stream external to the (electrically) noisey inards of the PC -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
