I think you're spot on James! But it's probably not viable for Graham to produce two ADC models - one with, one without a phono amp. Producing a great ADC and putting a Communicator-like phono amp in it (the development cost of which has already been recouped - hopefully!) would meet both needs if the unit has a switchable line in. Apart from a better phono amp it could be used for tape or FM radio into a digital system if there are coax and optical outs as well as USB into a computer.

I know what you mean; I was once!
I think you, Bob and I are all saying the same thing.

So it doesn't need a USB audio feed from the "phono stage" - just coax and optical.

The USB input is from a computer device.

I think it needs a USB out from the ADC for ripping vinyl to hard disc.

Agreed, but I can only offer 16 bit 48kHz on that front.

Is it possible that there's potential customers wishing to rip from reel to reel tape?

Or customers who want something simple but high quality that will create MP3 or FLAC files etc. directly onto a USB stick/USB hard drive from whatever analogue is fed in? I'm probably straying too far into the computer side of things here and perhaps the wrong market.
