You'll find Michael Fremer's reviews on the net. And you may contact Dan or Leo at SweetVinyl they will surely be able to assist you for all technical questions about their units.

Edit: the main differences between the SC-1 Plus and the SC-2 Plus units is that the SC-2 Plus also has the internal recording and track editing function (so as far as I understand it you don't need the additional software on your Mac) as well as a headphone amp. |
The SC-1 and SC-1 mini are sold out now. It appears there was fire and shipping will resume in the September/ October timeframe.
Was hoping to download a manual to see how it all works and connects but no luck. Looking at the pictures it appears I can go from my phono amp to the SC and from the SC to my preamp and USB from the SC to my MAC.
I’ll assume with the apps I would be able to select what type of file and that the files would be created on my Mac hard drive. (Remember I’m a novice)
