Hello all,
Sorry if this isn't in quite the correct thread but I was unsure as to where it best belonged.
A few years ago I got back into the vinyl world and currently have a Rega RP1 connected to a Pioneer AVR via a Project Phono Phono Box Mk2. My laptop only has a USB input and I've been looking at methods to copy vinyl as surprisingly even some new releases still don't come with download codes.
Anyway, the quality doesn't have to be spectacular as it's only so I can stick the files on my iPod and listen in the car. I know there are Phono stages with USB built in but that's essentially forking out for a new Phono stage when the one I have is fine.
I've seen two cheaper options but have no idea if they are a false economy:-
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Behringer-...D=41MOgnznR%2BL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fisual-UPA-1000-Phono-Stage-Amplifier-Black/dp/B00NMGJJA6
Any views on these products would be gratefully received.
Thanks.
