best deck to get vinyl into iTunes?

I just purchased an Applied Research USB Phono Plus that comes with SoundSaver Express Software that I think is a notch above Audacity. You can auto fill in track names for many LP's and the reproduction quality is pretty good. All for $79 bucks.

I have a friend looking into purchasing the Project Debut III which I believe has USB out...

Do you have a turntable, phono stage and a preamp with tape out, plus a Mac or widows computer with a microphone jack? If so, all you need is a RCA to mini jack stereo and Audacity set to either 24/96 for iTunes playback or 24/48 for portable Apple devices. Make sure you set Audacity for AAC Apple lossless.

I've been happy with the responsiveness and support of Mike Allen's JoLida in Maryland (JoLida.com). I really hate to see his compay get smeared. So far as I know, the truth is almost the complete opposite of the Jolida.net claims. Check out this thread for a description of what is going on. http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/archive/index.php/t-241469.html

Underwood HiFi and various other reputable US-based dealers carry JoLida US gear. I am not a dealer and have no financial interests (or otherwise) in JoLida.

Jolida's american distributor started counterfeiting their products, or so the lawsuit from last year alleges, http://www.jolida.net/ ,
who knows what you might get when purchasing a Jolida product these days? I know there are ways of telling the difference, the Shanghai products have logos etched into the aluminum face plates and the counterfeits have applied, "glued-on" logos, but the etchings can be faked.
Maybe the www.jolida.com website is the real one. I don't know, and I cannot risk a spotty support network on audio gear. Can you? Email contacts at both sites. Who is more responsive?

Why would you warn him off Jolida? Just curious.
