Ughgh (shivers..) Usb and turntable, do those even belong in the same
sentence?
If you still have the receipt, return it.
You can rent good turntables for like a month and a preamp. Somthing
that acctually has mass. Or even buy a good table, tonearm, cartridge
and preamp, and then connect them to your regular audio interface. Way
better sound quality, and reduces pips and pops. While also getting a
more true sound reproduction that you would be used to. For example, you
probably without a good tonearm are not getting much bass or treble
reproduction. Good heavy tonearms are the way to go. Also a good
cartridge, similar to having a decent sounding mic is critical. Mics
have different responses and so do cartridges. The turntable/platter
itself is just a motor and a platter. Here your looking for good heavy
platters on isolators that are not susceptible to noise transmitting
from furniture. The motor your just looking for something that is quiet
and maintains the correct speed. Go bumming around garage sales, or pawn
shops, I once heard of a guy who found a $15,000 phono setup not to
mention the stereo and he bought it all for $100. Nobody wanted it
because of the weight. Anyways it cam with two dynamic accustats, and a
sub, Rotel power and pre-amps. All because they "didn't work" one
replace of some old glass style fuses and everything came to life. The
speakers needed to be rebuilt, ($350 a piece) but he resold them (he had
B&W 802) to a friend for a sweet deal. (not as sweet as the $100) $1500
a piece. Just look around, you can find a better turntable, its not
worth it to rip in vinyl at Mp3 when you can really take full advantage
of a Record.
