Hi,
Sorry to be so simple...but I think it would be a lot easier to pick up a fairly inexpensive stand alone cd-recorder (Sony, Philips...) and run through the tape loop in your preamp. This way, you don't have to move anything around, run long interconnects, etc. My understanding is that these units do a great job, and you can do the cleanup that Don described on your computer using the cd that you burned on the stand alone. I probably wouldn't even bother with this last step, though, as I don't mind a few ticks and pops. Hey, it's vinyl, why try to mask it? This is the route that I'm going to take, and I know that many others feel that it's the way to go.
Have fun,
Rick
