Hmmmm.

A while ago somebody suggested a 562 and a Meridian phono card as a nice simple - one box - solution to the question of how do I get my LP-player into my DSPs. It seemed like a good idea then and it seems like a good idea now!

Having said that an LP12 might be fantastically "foot-tapping" but if you need and arm and a leg (sorry cartridge) and phono-stage AND an ADC. There's quite a bit to do. An idea of budget would be very helpful! Steve Eyles suggestion has a lot of merit if that's your budget. Otherwise consider �50 to "service" the LP12. ?�200 for an RB300 (What else would you bolt on it Steve? Is there a cheep Linn arm these days?) ?�150 for a Goldring 1042 cartridge. "Bargain" 562 (�150) and a ProJect PhonoBox II (�75) from eBay. That's �625 and I'm trying fairly hard to stick to a budget (that's what I say to the wife, anyway)!

Main system; 861v8 ID41, DSP8000SEU fronts with DSP5500 centre and DSP7000 rears (all in lovely silver) 504, HD621
Second system 861v4 ID40 LPS, G98DH, 504, HD621, 2x DSP5200 with DSP5200 centre
MD600 tucked away in study. Lots of other Meridian!
