All you need is a PC and a cheap pre-amp (I found one at Radio Shack for US$25).
Works pretty good; the CDs I've been burning sound better than the worn LPs they come from.
As for the extra room, put a recliner, a lamp, and a table. A quiet room for reading?  |
I bought a (non-USB) turntable for $45 (new ones mostly seem to have a built-in pre-amp) and a $3 RCA cable, downloaded free Audacity software, and am happily converting my LPs to mp3s. It's great to hear all my old Sinatra LPs again!
Amazon sells a Behringer pre-amp for around $20, if you have an old turntable.
