I was considering FV awhile back but my search on the web for info found unsatisfied users, in it's inability to do a good job converting the RIAA signals from vinyl. I *think* there were bad reports at www.versiontracker.com (sorry - don't have time to check). I ended up buying a Phono Equalizer, and get beautiful results. If you plan to go via an amp with a built in phono input, that will handle the RIAA signal, and the iMic will suffice as an input for your computer (as would their more expensive PowerWave).
