Thanks! I've got a load of unpacking to do, but at least I'm now into my new place.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh yeah, congrats, ND.

So, I need a USB audio input/output for my Cube (and occasionally my iBook too) so I can connect the Cube to a stereo and so I can connect a turntable into it as well. Here's the post I made in Bufistech a few days ago:

I'm gonna be in the same position in a month. Not looking forward to it, but looking forward to it being over. Congrats.

Right, I saw that and just didn't have a chance to respond.

I've had very good luck with M-Audio gear over the years. Edirol has been hit or miss for me.

The big thing that you need to watch for is something that has a Phono Pre-Amp in it, since turntables have a special EQ curve that is included in that preamp. If the USB interface doesn't include it you can get it by running the Turntable through a little preamp. I'm pretty sure that Radio Shack still sells a cheap preamp with a phono input.

You can also combine this with this.

Yeah, I've had one of those Radio Shack pre-amps for years.

Thanks. My current googling seems to indicate that very few USB audio input thingies have a phono pre-amp.

So, no brain for loaning? I'm not looking for braaaaaaaains, I'm not even looking for brains. Just the one will probably be enough. And I'll take good care of it, and will return it right when I finished using it. How's that?

I think this post is a proof that it's time for me to go home and continue from there. Brainless. Helpless, hopeless, but, thankfully, not unemployed in Greenland.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Okay. My sister-in-law broke my heart and told me the only books my nephew has are the ones I buy him. Today I sent Hippos Go Berserk, Good Dog Carl, Pajama Time, Everyone Poops, and Barnyard Dance.

Any good suggestions? I'll take toddler through early reader. I think my mom is making him a bookcase.

You got one of my favorites, Everyone Poops.

It too old for him right now but I adore Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad, Day.
