Old LP's and records

[Steve Thomas]

Jared,

will that work? I had to connect my very old B&O turntable to the hifi via a
pre-amp. I assumed I would also need a pre-amp to connect to my laptop. Did
try connecting thru the pre-amp and using LPripper, but seemed not to be
getting proper audio through.

Also, the B&O has a DIN connector. But I guess I could use an adaptor.

Of course, another way to get those old vinyl tracks is to rip them from
Youtube. ;)
