Hi everybody,
I know it's been asked about trillion times already, but never actually answered to my complete satisfaction.
What I am looking for is a cleanest (not necessarily the most expensive) way possible to record something from a turntable. My turntable is an old Nakamichi Dragon-CT, so it's got an analog output of course. Right now, I use Sound Blaster X-fi HD, but it's phono preamp is horrible, it introduces lots of noise and is not particularly clean. I need either some ADC with a good preamp or an ADC with good line in interface, that would be fed through a regular preamp. I am inclined towards the latter, and my eyes are on EVGA nu audio pro, which is not crazy expensive, but according to measurements, it's one of the better ones.
Does anybody here have some experience with either a good ADC with an integrated preamp or with the EVGA card?
