bgravato: can you also post a review in the overview format in this thread which we maintain on external soundcards that we know work with Audacity: Sound Card Reviews
I have the ART DJ-PreII phono-preamp which I use in conjunction with an Edirol USB souncard - I suspect that the phono preamp stage in your ART USB Dual Pre is probaly the same innards - you device will also have the integrated soundcard.
I have been very pleased with my ART pre-amp - I already had the Edirol soundcard and was using my wife’s old Technics amp/pre-amp - but sadly that died so I had to get a replacement for my vinyl capture. If I hadn’t already had my Edirol soundcard I would have very seriously considered the device you have just bought.
Looking forward to hearing how you get on with the device.
Thanks.
