It's raining in my kitchen and the plumber is upstairs, cursing. My sainted mother arrives from the Vineyard tomorrow.

Thanks for the replies. I passed on the pertinent information to Brent (not the Mexican with the large head, another one). I told him that the best option for 16RPM media is a separate rig entirely, or finding someone else to do it. It's a shame 1200s are so expensive now. I remember when they were $400 for a clean, used pair when everyone was moving to CDJs. I have 3 myself (none for sale,KTHX), but the hoarder in me kind of wishes I'd grabbed a couple more....

Last week's show is here: http://mixlr.com/illuminator/showreel/illuminators-mixlr-33/ First 10 or so minutes are distorted. Tonight's show will be happening from home at 10PM Eastern.

A friend of mine who is a music producer and is not nor ever will be a DJ wants to build a phono rig for digitizing vinyl. His budget is $1000. He needs a phono pre with a line out (he's got the ACD covered), a turntable and needle. He's asked me, but my phono knowledge is too DJ-centric. Any HCers have some suggestions for those three components that fit within his budget constraints? Are there any turntables with built in pres in that range that are not utter crap? Also, he'd like to be able to play back 16 and 78RPM records but that requirement is is secondary to the above needs.

Apologies to whomever was listening for the first 10 or so minutes. There was some major clipping going on. Turns out I had the output levels on my compressing just a WEE bit too high.
