we laffed about that article at my house. we took our existing turntable 
and amp. then the tape out wires to which we added a $5 adapter and 
plugged into my powerbook. captured wiht garage band and had all the same 
set up that the nytimes describes but for literally pennies.
and garageband does a very good job.

+The NY Times heard your call and (a few months late) has responded

+LONG-PLAYING records are gathering dust in the homes of many music  
+lovers, who hope to hear their contents one day on a CD player or iPod.

+Now, an updated version of another audio relic, the phonographic  
+turntable, may provide a fairly inexpensive way to do that. Two new  
+consumer turntables on the market at $200 or less connect directly to  
+computers to transfer cherished vinyl to MP3 files and CDs.
