Thansk for this information Scott!

Don't forget a vacuum record cleaning machine, such as a Nitty
Gritty, starting, IIRC, in the $150 range. You WANT to clean every
record using such a device before playing/transcribing it. The way I
work is clean side 1, play side 1, clean side 2, play side 2. This
keeps each side as clean as possible before it gets played.

I'm going to work on a quite large collection of LP (classical music) in
order to put them on cd and dvd.
For each LP I'll make a 'restored' copy on (audio) cd and a 'natural'
copy
at 24/96 in wav format on dvd.
For the A/D conversion I'm going to use my Prism Sound AD- 2.
At the moment, however, I don't a LP player. Can you suggest me a model?
And is it an ordinary preamp (like the Tascam MX-4) good or I need
something
different?

You will need a phono preamp. Not a mike preamp.

What is your budget? You can get an entry level system, say a
Thorens TD-124 with the stock arm, a Grado DJ-100 cartridge, and
an Adcom preamp for around $500 if you shop around for used gear.
