USB turntable or standalone a to d conversion?

Thx. I went with the project debut carbon as my first TT...

Those who choose to start with the basic USB TT usually want something better after 6 months. A TT with a built-in preamp is inferior in SQ than a decent table playing thru an external phono stage (preamp).

If you want to enter the world of vinyl, set a budget and buy a TT package which includes table, tonearm, and cartridge. Concentrate on playing records thru your system first, then add an analog-to-digital converter with USB later; they don't cost much.

Check out the Budget TT section at Needle Doctor dot com.

Do you smoke koosh?
It was one of my favorite weed to smoke, but now I upgraded to inhale THC(cannabis oil) steam fed onto the e-cig.
Don't complicate yourself with USB conversion you can add later and better and get to more choices based on performance.
