What are some other good turntables I should look at (under $500) that would work best for recording purposes only? I don't do any DJing; it would be strictly for recording to digital...

The problem with SL1200's is that they are designed for DJ use, and not really for home use. Ideally you want to buy something by Rega www.rega.co.uk etc. with a different type of cartridge (the diamond has a different profile) which although aren't as robust have a better sonic pick up.

There are a few possible reasons for this:
a.. The stylus needs cleaning
b.. The phono amp could be the source
c.. The tonearm weight need adjusting. Probably a bit less weight (the stylus could be digging into the groove).
What turntable/powersource/tonearm/cartridge(stylus)/phono amp have you got?

Perhaps someone can help me out here... when I record vinyl to my computer
(or just play the record on its own), I notice that the audio is far less
"treble-y" than the CD version of the same track(s). Why is this? My
turntable and recording equipment is excellent. If Im looking for an
accurate recording of the music, should I boot the highs a wee bit?
