You'd be way better buying a second hand deck, a decent needle and an external soundcard and just doing it properly.

well, that leads me on to option 2....

i've got a Technics seperates system so everything is nearly in place.

i'd need to buy a decent soundcard though - any recommendations?

here's the problem though - stereo is on the living room but the PC is in the second bedroom, out through the hallway. i'd need a big cable.....

I was thinking about getting one...but, I've just got a jack to jack, stick it in my soundcard (tower PC)...and record it with soundforge or audacity....

I've never had any problems with it. so no need to buy a new deck..

if you want turntables on the cheap just buy older brands. ive got a dual 604 deck (or something like that), an a&r cambridge amplifier going into mordaunt short speakers. the amp and speakers cost me 60 quid off ebay. the deck was my dads but im sure you can get something similar for a good price then just stick a new cartridge on it.

all in all could probably get it all for around 100 quid and it probably sounds better than all this digital nasty.
