The Presonus Inspire firewire interface, sitting on my console next to the big old DW-8000, has a stereo pair of RCA inputs that can be set to RIAA EQ for turntable input. Special little button on the GUI for that specific purpose. Sez "Phono" right there on it.
I'm a geezer myself, and while I hold the Presonus Inspire to be a sort of rough and ready tool for my digital scratchpad, it would do this job and others like it nicely. I've got no vinyl, but I do have a whole generation of pretty-good-quality casette stock and a venerable old Tascam rackmount 122 that's still quiet enough to act as a preamp for the office stereo in addition to its trascription role in moving my stuff from tape to disc and CD/DVD. My recordist, the guy who treats me like a popstar and has all those pretty tube mics and stuff, who's making my new CD happen, uses the Firebox which, in case nobody's noticed, gets all the attention at Presonus. There's a number of reasons for that and I kick myself (figuratively, of course) for not coughing up the few extra bucks for a nice, quiet black box. I get really, really tired of the audio mess in my inspire. Sometimes it's like a bad shortwave signal in there. Sometimes it's wonderfully clear. I sent it back to Presonus who said they could find nothing wrong with it and were returning it to me...in a new box with a new power supply and CD packet and gosh...lookee here...it's even got a new serial number on it!...  If they'd have just emptied out all the crickets and birdies chirping...
