Would this work well to enhance the sound of records on a turntable?

Sure. it has multiple inputs. Mic, & Aux. EQ & EAX effects. Record & Surround... I can transfer Cassette, Turntable to CD.

No. I do not think this would help. I used this sound card in that capacity. I later abandoned it and went back to the on board sound card. I could not tell a difference. You are better off spending money on the cartridge and stylus in the turntable.

it depends on the turntable, but my guess is that for 20 bucks and amazon's no questions asked returns with no shipping costs, it's prolly worth the try since it amplifies everything i have.

You can but you will need an inline turntable amplifier. Otherwise it will be too quiet, the input for it is not amplified in the receiver.

Yes. Unless your turntable is one of the newer ones and has an integrated preamp.

I am using paired to an unpowered subwoofer in an open 20x20 room. They are a very musical speaker. My turntable is on a different system in my home, but I see no reason why it would be a problem. The high tones are clear but not shrill or overly bright. That may be good with a turntable since pops and clicks may not be overbearing.

I think it would depend on the turntable. I have a multi-disc player, without a turntable.

I've converted a few selections from my records over to mp3's, and overall they're pretty good, but really the quality depends on what settings you input into the software that comes with the turntable. It's really easy to use, but if you choose to eliminate the surface noise (such as the pops and clicks), the sound can be deadened somewhat, so I just choose to do a straight, no-frills conversion most of the time. However, the quality/cleanliness of the record also has a part to play, a good clean record produces a good, clean sound.

Yes, if your turntable has blue tooth capabilities. There is an aux plug that works with earphones.

As long as it has line level inputs, you should be able to use a turntable. Since these inputs are not labeled 'phono' you will need a pre-amplifier for your turntable if it does not have one built-in.

From what I remember about the last century, turntables require a special input as they need some power from the receiver for the audio connection to work. And a ground. I don't think this will work even though it has aux RCA stereo inputs.

Not necessarily. However, this particular unit is poorly designed and poorly built. I would look for a different brand altogether or buy a turntable you could hook up to your stereo system if you have one.

I found that if one doesn't have a receiver with phono inputs, a preamp is needed for ideal sound. I have not, however, converted vinyl to CDs.

You would need a phono pre-amp to boost the phono output signal to a level that would work with one of the receiver's audio inputs (e.g., tape or CD). Pyle makes one for about $15 and it is sold by Amazon. Some models cost many times that. I don't use one, so I'm not in a position to make specific recommendation, but some of the other reviewers make recommendations. If you are looking for a new receiver and want to play records on an old-fashioned turntable, I would suggest keeping things simple by looking for a receiver that is advertised as having a phono input. I recall one of the reviewers made some recommendations of receivers like that in the same price range as the Sony.

You should be able to. I assume you have an RCA output from the turntable which you can connect to the unit.

I don't have a turntable, but I don't see why not. In my case, I didn't even have to bother with the little curly wires, I just put the device in between the computer and amp. Plus, it's not overly expensive and will keep forever.

I would not use it for vinyl records. It can be used for CDs, and DVDs storage.

If your TT42 version has the phono preamp (there are two versions of the TT42, one with and one without), then yes. Otherwise you will need to install a phono preamp on the turntable output. Definitely worth it if space is a premium in your room. We use it as the sound for our living room tv. Right now, I'm streaming audio off my server. Definitely worth the purchase. IMHO. Our great room runs a full Marantz home theater setup (speakers excepted). Been a fan of Marantz for long time. Right price for what you get.
