from www.amazon.com
with the built in pre-amp connection to your computer it's quite simple.
from www.amazon.com
i was attracted to this item because it has an internal pre-amp, which means i can connect it to any audio connection in the back of my receiver.
from www.amazon.com
my only small quibble with the unit is the very short output cable, you need to set the turntable up fairly close to a receiver in order to make the connection.
from www.amazon.com
even though it doesn't have a usb connection, it easily connects to computers for digitizing tracks.

from www.amazon.com
i run vista with an xi-fi audio extreme pci sound card, with a 3 piece bose speaker system (companion 3), and use the usb connection.
from Joe, www.newegg.com
the usb connection directly to your pc is another plus.
from igneous1, www.newegg.com
call them back and tell them what you are using as a connection, is it new, clean, heavier guage, and does the usb run right through the rest of your cabling, as all others do....

from www.amazon.com
the turntable also has regular rca connections if you'd want to add it to your stereo system.
from www.amazon.com
this device works great, the usb connection is recognized by my pc laptop immediately, and the software that came with the turntable is easy to install, although i replaced it with a new version from

Numark

$128.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
drawback #3: there seems to be a very, very faint hum through the usb connection and i can't find the source.
from www.amazon.com
the usb connection to my computer to transfer vinyl to mp3 is an added bonus for me.
from www.amazon.com
but they lack the usb connection.
from www.amazon.com
the usb connection has some serious grounding/electrical problems, which seems silly, because that's the main reason most people are going to buy a usb turntable: to use the usb connection.
