Record player repair?
rovingmind:
once you get it going, theres a chap in england with an excellent program for cleaning up audio files recorded off of records.
I don't have the info on me at the moment (i'm at work) but i have it on my computer at home. I have the line-outs on my stereo going into my computer to use it.
Does an awesome job of removing excessive clicks and hiss.
I haven't tried audacity yet because i purchased a license for the english guys program.

Has anyone tried the funky new USB Turntables that have been hitting the street lately?

Not a flame war at all. Just a little "Count/Pointer-Count" ;D

I know someone who bought something like that.
She had some problems setting it up, said the device was installed but se got no sound through it. I told her how to get to the mixer settings and change them for the input signals but I think it blew her mind. She wanted 'simple' and if this wasn't enough I don't know what is.

The vast majority of (especially younger) people who think that Vinyl is rubbish in my experience have that opinion because most of the sound systems they have heard are the standard mass-produced players that are "good enough". The data stored on an LP is of a higher precision then the CD standard, but the big problem with it is getting all that data off without the noise (physical contact is a ---smurfette---). Digital systems did make that process easier for consumer-grade technology, so for most people who wont fork over the $$$ then digital *IS* better. Personally I'm pretty disappointed that there was never a 2nd "uber" standard of audio disc (eg. 64b/50kHz/5.1ch) released by Philips, because at that precision you really would end up with only 0.0000001% of people able to hear the difference. As it is, *some* people with good hearing can spot the sound lost in a 16/44 conversion, but *most* people don't spend anywhere near enough for it to matter. :dunno
And trying to use the mp3 'close enough is good enough' standard in an argument about audio quality? Don't get me wrong, I love having all my songs in my pocket, but WTF?!? :o
