[MacDV] Re: A-D conversion of LPs

[JM]

I did a demo at my user group meeting just a couple of weeks ago of 
doing just this. Turntable only, iMic and a Mac.

No pre-amp.

I was using Audio X shareware that was registered. Griffith has 
software too but I didn't have it so I had purchased Audio X so I had 
it handy.

(I am not a Griffin rep or any audiophile just someone who was asked by 
a group member if I could get the iMic to work. After a little playing 
with the settings in the System Preferences and in Audio X, it worked 
fine.)

I actually tried it from my ancient big ole Pioneer receiver and it 
worked too. I connected directly to the receiver. I think I had some 
type of line level connector on the back of my receiver and from that 
to the guy's iMic but since it works directly from the turntable, why 
bother?

Others may have better technical advice.
