Great review judicata, and very thorough. And especially that you got a solution that was not that expensive.
Excellent report, J. I hope a lot of newbies to vinyl will read this post if they encounter a similar problem...
Hi
I dont want to appear dumb !! but is recording the files as simple as a USB cable out from the preamp to a USB input on the PC ?
Anyone got any experience of doing this process wirlessly ? my office is a good way from my audio system.

I had to look into this before buying as well. Yes, it is that simple. Since I use my laptop, I haven't thought about doing it wirelessly. But, since it is a simple USB connection, you may be able to get a wireless USB hub to replace the cable connection. You could also get a long USB cable, but I don't know how far we're talking.
Either way, running back and forth between the TT and your office will be a bit of a pain.
If you decide to go low output MC you can always add the inexpensive K and K step up device that AD raved about. You sound like the kind of guy who would get a kick out of the DIY side of it as well. Not a big savings, but still fun. www.kandkaudio.com
Ooh, that looks like fun. I'll definitely keep that in mind.
you could also get the Bellari MT502, step up transformer for moving coil.
I actually just got the VP130 open box for steal at a high end audio store, using it with my grado i80 headphones and I'm amazed at how much better it sounds than my Dynaco PAT4's headphone out (i use a Dynaco 120 amp and some modded Dayton b652's for listening also). Bellari really knows how to give you bang for buck when it comes to tubes.
