I bought a turntable today, because I've got a bunch of LPs stashed in the spare room that will never, ever be released on CD, and I've been hankering to hear a few of them. One in particular is My Song Is My Own by Frankie Armstrong, Kathy Henderson, Sandra Kerr and Alison McMorland - and it was even near the front of the pile and sounds surprisingly clean. Also, there are a couple of Debbie McClatchy albums buried a little deeper. I'm going to rifle through the boxes and transfer the ones I want to MiniDisc, then to computer for pop/click cleanup, and finally to the iPod.
Hey, what turntable did you purchase? Since there aren't too many in stores, I have been looking for recomendations online. I have about 800 vinyls stacked in the corner, and I got an iPod for xmas. My father stepped on my old turntable while placing the new TV he bought for my husband and I. I couldn't exactly complain... Any recomendations?

I bought a Sony PS-LX250H, which is a fairly inexpensive turntable with a selectable pre-amp. With the pre-amp on, it can be connected directly to a computer. I'm also using SoundSoap software to clean up the audio.
