Couple of differences. Straight, plain turntables are three-wire devices. Left sound, right sound, and grounding strap. The UFO-202 has a place to screw the grounding wire.

While you're doing all that, talk about your setup. The "S" word (studio) makes people nervous. I don't need a studio. I just need a comfortable, air conditioned, quiet room with no echoes. If you solve the room problems, it almost doesn't matter what you record on. https://www.kozco.com/t...

I still have to miss the metrobus going by—it shakes the house—but my test meet...

I expect only the gentle shshshshs of the microphone noise. I can hear you breathing and moving around and it sounds like somebody is a...

We're making a big deal about this because even if we solve everything with software patches and adjustments, you have to remember to apply all the patches to everything you produce, forever . Much better to find out where the noises are coming from and fix the hardware or room. If you have a simple...
