I'm looking for a turntable,as simple and cheaper has it can be,just to sample directly to my MPC 2500. And how do i connect it? I've been looking the ones with usb,but can they be connected directly on the mpc?

Thanks
Luigi

You need audio cables, TRS or RCA with 1/4 inch adapters. You can not connect it USB if thats what you were thinking. You can't connect it directly into the MPC either it has to go through a mixer and the main outs of the mixer to the 2500. The reason you have to do it that way is because the turntable has to be at Line level in order to work with the MPC. I mean you could connect it directly but you will get very very weak signal.

also check out the numark pt-01, its 90 bucks and it also has a headphone input and can be run on D batteries.

it also has a little speaker that can play if the headphones arent connected
