Now that that moment of madness has passed, I realize that my sound card
(SB Live! something) has a line in, so I can connect any old cassette deck
direcly. For phonographs, I need to find/borrow a working player and a
preamp (preferably one that's battery-powered to minimize hum). At one time
I had a working phono, but it was very noisy (as in it transmitted
environmental vibrations to the needle).
