mpc3000 got a digital in right? so if i get one of these turntables with a digital out i can plug that straight into the mp without a preamp?

there are different digital formats... they must match to accomplish what you want... look it up, easy info to find... just search different digital formats...

Turntable SPDIF output ( 44.1 kHz / 16 BIT )
MPC3000 SPDIF input ( 44.1 kHz /16 BIT )
1 x SPDIF cable to link them.
Voila !

I tried this with my TTX two days ago.
I used a digital coaxial cable and connected it from the TTX's SPDIF out to the 3000's Digital in. It worked, but the sound was very low: the input meter on the 3000's display allmost did not move at all. And there are no way to adjust the digital in's sensitivity on the 3000 or the digital out's volume on the TTX.
I use a Shure M97XE Cartridge on the TTX. I have not tried with my M44-7's yet, wich has higher output volume (9.5 mV) than the M97XE (4.0 mV). But if I can't record samples at a normal level with the digital in, I will use the line out from the TTX to the analog in's instead. And maybe the digital converter in the TTX does not have as great sound as the MPC's? I will not take that chance, because the MP's are great!
Have you tried it yet, Manilla? Tell us how the results was with your gear.
Peace

dunno if i wanna risk it now. i was think about getting a stanton table with the spdif out and then i could bypass this shitty phono amp i got hooked up. i wouldnt have thought it was the cart that was at fault here especially if your hardly reading at all on the level meter on the mp.

Yeah, it's propably not just the cart.
You will be better off buying a good phonopreamp or a turntable with a built in line out so that you still can use the analog in's on the MPC and adjust the volume with the rec gain knob and the three different rec levels knob on the back next to the analog in's.
Or you could get a good DJ mixer with good phonopreamps and maybe a eq with bass-kill. (I use an ecler HAK360 wich has total kills on the eq's, and thats great for sampling hi-hats and other stuff where i dont need the lower frequences at all)

I love my TTX's, but maybe those are a bit expensive? I love having the 50% pitch control which gives good control over sampling fast and then pitching down in the MPC. But I also like to scratch and beatjuggle on them decks, so I need a deck with a strong motor and a sturdy platter. Maybe you dont need all that.
I don't know how many of the newer decks has built in pre-amps. Just check the specs on the different decks, just look around. A stand alone phonopreamp is not expencive, so you could consider just buing any good turntable and a good phonopreamp. If youre not a DJ you dont need a DJ turntable, just a turntable with good sound. And with a good cartridge of course!
