If you don't otherwise have a decent turntable and that is one (well
insulated from outside vibrations, minimal wow/flutter, good
response/separation), then great, if it's a decent price. Otherwise, go for
a decent player and a preamp. Oh, for the gizmo, also make sure you can
take sound input by USB (I have no idea how to do that). If it uses some
special driver to accomplish that, is it written for Linux?
