[MacDV] A-D conversion of LPs

[Dorothy Hennings]

I thought I read someplace a month or so ago that one could connect a 
turntable to a Griffin iMike audio interface and then thru USB to 
computer without the need for a preamp. Can anyone comment?
If preamp is needed can someone suggest type or details on this and 
where to buy one?

I'd like to digitize my old LP records. My amplifier etc is in another 
room of the house so I guess I can't use the preamp in it from there. 
Or can I , depending on any limitation of length for the RCA leads  to 
carry the inputs to the computer? Or thru Dazzle?
