Product Description

The cable serves as the connection from the 2 RCA jacks on a turntable to our stereo mini-jack input and also provides a connection for turntable's grounding wire. Some people find a buzz on their recording. The simple way to eliminate the buzz and record the true sound of the album is to connect the ground wire to the Turntable Grounding Cable.

2 out of 5 stars Direct Turntable Connection Too Weak.......2007-03-27

I attempted to use this cable with the Griffin iMic to connect my turntable directly to my G5 iMac and import some of my old vinyl LPs. However, this setup was not able to produce anything close to satisfactory recordings, despite tweaking the settings in the Finyl Vinyl software provided with the iMic and the Mac's Sound control panel. The recorded signal was very weak, even with input gains maxed out, and even worse there was an intolerable amount of white noise (sound like rushing air) in the recording. The signal coming out of the turntable is simply way too weak to provide a decent signal for recording without a preamplifer in the setup. I connected the turntable to my old stereo receiver, and plugged the iMic into one of the receiver's tape recorder outputs, and voila--lots of signal strength and very clean recordings, no white noise whatsover. Direct connection of the turntable to the computer would have been more convenient, but the results are not satisfactory to even a casual listener, (such as myself). I'm 30 bucks poorer, but wiser for the experience.

5 out of 5 stars Griffin Turntable connection ( convert vinyl to digital ).......2007-01-13

I had no problems with this product. It worked perfectly. I was ecstatic to get some of the obscure albums off vinyl and into a digital format finally. Works perfectly for its purpose.
