I don't think it connects to your amp, rather you connect your t/t to it as you would with a phono amp, then link it to your laptop/computer via usb. Looks like it would be a simple process, even for a tech numpty like me.
Yes, as Steve says, you plug the tonearm leads into Rega device and connect the output from the Rega to your computer in order to burn a CD-R.
Many thanks both for your replies.
I have a Rega Planar 11, so I assume I just plug the device into the back of my tt. then away I go? Also I "assume"! all the leads or whatever I need will come with the device.
Again! Apologies for my lack of knowledge!
Note it will only work with MM cartridges, is that what you have on your turntable?

Do you know the make and model of the cartridge you are using?

If unsure, perhaps you could tell us the make/model of the amplifier you use. We might be able to work it out that way.

Sorry for being a dumbo! I have a Rega Brio and the tt is a Rega Planar 11.
The Rega Brio has a MM input only, so you must be using a MM cartridge.
You can thus plug the turntable leads into the Rega Fono device you have in mind.
There is no Rega Planar 11 - something here is not quite right folks.

Probably meant a Planar II (2), just came out wrong. Although I have never seen that model described thus, so... :hmm:
Daney, if you do decide to do this, I'd be interested to hear how you went on - don't be a stranger!

It's one thing too digitise the lps, it is another to separate and name all the tracks. In addition to the hardware, you will need suitable software to tag the individual files. Not complex but it can be time consuming.
Many thanks for all your help.
Yes! The turntable is a 2 and not a 11!
I will have a good think on it, got a fair few L.Ps, from mainly the 70s and 80s.... There is lots of them, which I haven't got on CD or digital either. Lots of reggae too...Will give me something to think about this weekend!
Im "assuming"! this will be the easiest way? for me to digitalise my old L.P.s.? Also! Will they just "record" onto a usb stick/pen drive, then I just transfer them to my laptop etc?
Many thanks,
