anyone have any experience with a numark ttusb turntable for recording vinyl to digital format?

i was thinking about getting one but don't know if it would be worth it. i already record fine now, but was looking to get a cleaner signal. i'm going straight from my mixer's output to my computer's line input now.

i was thinking of getting the ttusb only if it will make a difference in the signal. it has a preamp built into it, but i don't know if this table really helps with signal quality or if it's more just for ease in use with it being plug and play. would just getting a decent preamp unit essentially have the same or better effect on the signal?

its just for ease in use with it being plug and play it want make your sound quality any better.
your best of buying a top range soundcard and wavelab if you want quality that is.

this turntable is fr like, digitizing your record connection, i figure it probably works the same as any other turntable for any other application

the usb thing is so you can right into the computer and record vinyl...

I have a pretty decent sound card from Creative Labs and don't really need any software. I would be using it for recording my vinyl to archive in digital format.

I just thought this would have a better signal as it's going directly from the turntable to the computer, where my current setup is going from turntable to mixer and mixer to computer.

I just want to have the best possible signal to get the cleanest recordings from vinyl. Obviously it takes a bit to archive vinyl and I wouldn't want to be sacrificing quality due to my recording setup.

Any recommendations on a preamp for recording? Any tips on recording vinyl for archiving purposes?
