Folk - potentially this is an old chestnut from a
luddite like me; however Im trying to find out what
connector I need (and from what supplier etc) I need
to plug into the back of my Rega Elex - the other
end going into a laptop. Any advice would be
appreciated. Many Thanks

Hi. You want standard stereo phono plugs from the
tape out jacks of the
amp to a stereo mini jack into your soundcard. Available at Radio
Shack, etc. That's the simplest
way, as far as I know. Use the software of your
choice (Audacity is free and is easy to use). Enjoy.
If you then want someone to take free vinyl off your
hands, shoot me an email ;-)

One thing to watch out for - many PC laptops don't have
a line in, but only a microphone in, which is mono.

True; I was thinking Mac as that's what I use.


There are cheap USB solutions which provide a stereo
line in if this is the case. I've picked one up for
precisely this reason though I haven't yet recorded any
vinyl.


And the RIAA Equalisation will be done where?

The Rega, which seems to be an integrated amp with phono input?

I would suggest a monitor output (e.g. tape out) from the
pre-amp and then it will also be line level.

Close enough!

Or use a phono stage, then input to the computer.
