If you have $13,000, nothing beats a laser turntable. "No needle. No wear."
yeah, but it doesn't have digital out! :) Any turntable will connect to your soundcard. It's called "line-in" on your soundcard. With most turntables, you will need/want a pre-amp before the card. Check out Denon and Stanton. They have 'DJ' models that have digital out. If your soundcard has digital in, this is the way I'd go. No pre-amps, no setting levels, etc.. as close to plug-and-play as possible. If you don't have the digital-input, then just buy whatever. Are you going to DJ? Probably not, so you don't need the highest end with loads of torque. Maybe check out the numark line. Pro-TT2 is nice, but probably overkill, this can be had for as low as $280.US new. -chromatest
