I'm not sure what kind of home setup you have... If you have a receiver or pre/amp setup that has a phono stage, you can run the record player through that, and use the pre outs on the receiver or pre to feed the AD converter. In my instance, it was record player>denon avr4800>ad500e>tascam da20. A high quality phono pre is probably a better solution, but using a quality receiver is probably as good if not better than a cheap phono pre from somewhere like Radio Shack. Some receivers run even a 2ch stereo signal through the receivers processor...which adds extra processing that you really don't want...my Denon has an analog pass-through mode that doesn't process the analog signal...I used that, if you have a similar option, you should use it to keep the signal as pure as possible.
