Question about 2 pieces of hardware...

Hey,

So I'm looking at getting these two pieces of equipment:

A cheap turntable so I can sample old vinyl records:

And this Focusrite Saffire 6 Audio Interface:

I was wondering if anyone had an experience using either of these pieces of hardware. I currently am using a MacBook, Ableton, an AKAI MIDI keyboard, and 2 MAudio BX8A monitors, so I think a decent audio interface is the next logical piece of equipment that I need. The turntable is more for creative purposes, and I was mostly just wondering if the quality of the turntable drastically effects sampling quality. Thanks for any feedback

ya should be good to go but might need a usbhub if you want to run it all at once.

I think the needle/cartridge is what's most important when it comes to quality output.

I don't have the Saffire 6 but I can definitely vouch for the Saffire Pro 24. Hasn't failed me in any way, shape or form.
