If you plug it into a phono-input, it will be equalized a second time to the RIAA specifications and is guaranteed to be horribly distorted, which is definitely not what you want. Assuming your turntable's built-in preamp is properly designed, what you are doing should work.
Turntable To PC Audio Connection To Make CD's
Desire to convert my LP's to CD. Have a HP computer with all the bells and whistles. Would like to record the LP's to the computer then make CD's.
What Have I done so far: (1)connected Turntable (which has built-in preamp) to Tape-In on Receiver as recommended by manufacturer because Receiver does not have Phono input). (2) connected Tape-out to Line-in of Computer (custom made 75 Ohm coaxial). (3) Same type of cable used to connect Computer Line-out to Receiver tape-in.
Problems? (1) Sound from Receiver is very low when playing turntable. Can be corrected by turning up the volume dial. (2) Sound from Turntable to Computer via the Receiver is almost inaudible even with all the computer volume controls set at 95 percent.
Solutions Tried To Date: To test the cable,Tape-output jack and Line-in, I switched the Receiver to FM radio. Sound volume was OK. Directly connecting the turntable to the computer resulted in audible sound but major distortions.
Any suggestions on how to get clear and audible sound from the turntable to the computer?
