Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

ART’s USB Phono Plus connects phono, line, and digital audio sources to a USB-equipped computer for recording, while also handling USB playback. Its RIAA phono preamp and switchable low-cut filter address rumble and noise during vinyl transfers. Set input level from the front-panel gain control, use the Signal/Clip LED to check it, and cue through the monitor/headphone output without latency. Optical TOSLINK and coaxial S/PDIF connections broaden its digital-routing role.
