ps Not that I'm specifically wanting to replace it, unless necessary,
but anyone got any experience with these USB record decks?

Most of them are cheap rubbish and a waste of money, the results will
sound abysmal. One good one though is the 'Pro-Ject Debut', available
from proper hi-fi shops, chains include 'Richer Sounds', 'Sevenoaks
Sound & Vision', 'Practical Hi-Fi' (no that's not a magazine, but 'Hi-
Fi World' is) and 'Superfi', not Maplin/Argos/Currys etc. I've had my
Debut (basic model) for the past three years and it's been very good,
a USB version is now available.
