true. though i'm curious becuase the other week i recorded my DMZ 5 12" into the computer and the resulting file sounds noticeably flat compared to the mp3 of the same tune from Bleep. i'm not sure why that would be. would a fancy firewire audio interface be the answer?
I am given to understand that the secret is to get a decent phono amp, cos the ones in mixers tend to be a bit ropey -- even on flash mixers they won't be as good as a 99 quid Graham Slee, which is what I'm considering.
And it's not about whether it's USB2 or firewire, but how good the converters are. If you have a PC you can't go far wrong with the (PCI) E-MU ones, they have the same converters as high end pro-tools rigs.
I could do with a thread that goes into the detail on really good sounding cartridges for 1200s, and optimal turntable settings for archiving...
