| 188245 | 2003-10-31 23:42:00 | That's not entirely true Peter. It's quite common to find USB audio devices with built-in A/D conversion. Neil, you might like to check out this one: www.imagingtechnology.co.nz CleanPlus 4.0 includes a good quality USB pre-amp and software for removing pops and other record-noise for around $200. |

| 188247 | 2003-11-01 01:15:00 | Ah yes, there is an increasing range of things which use the USB "standard"interface. Maybe one day, you will be able to plug in a lot of USB devices and they will all work. :D | Graham L (2) | ||
| 188248 | 2003-11-01 02:11:00 | Thanks guys.I know they're around,just wondered where to find one.Had a look through Dick Smith's stuff,and tried to find a web-site of Harvey Normans,but no good. The point is,a good USB phono setup saves me having to install a good soundcard.And I'd be able to use it later on this old thing if I get a new pc! | Neil McC (178) | ||
