Hey guys,I'm planning on buying a turntable for about a 100 bux and I already have a Soundblaster Audigy 2.I was wondering would this let me hook my turntable up to the comp.I also have a m-audio usb preamp.Would I need a mixer for this?What should I run the turntable through and whats the need of the soundblaster because I got the soundblaster in order to hook up the table to the comp but now that I got it I've been getting a lot of diff.opinions.

You'll want to get a mixer or some kind of preamp to amplify the phono out before getting it to the sound card. With the right connectors, the m-audioo usb preamp could do this, but that is really made for microphones and not phono turntables.

There are a few turntables that have built in preamps with regular line outs instead of phono outs, I might suggest getting that instead, then you can plug that directly into your audigy. I would also recommend replacing your audigy, but there's no rush for that if you're just starting out.

dtwizzle is right..

the m-audio pre-amp will not be working correctly because you don't need a regular pre-amp, but a phono pre-amp (they amplify the signal differently)

if you have a phono-in on your m-audo pre amp than it will be possible to use it

u can get a small phono amp from guitar center for about $40 and a used turntable for as low as $60 sometimes. Do some searching

I bought a belt drive table in the U-Distirct with pitch wheel, phono out and a built-in pre for $20 and it records through my soundcard perfectly without any interface. Just peep some Goodwill stores and old electronics stores or just get one off ebay.
