They may be the best of what you've seen and used, Jason, but they're far from 
professional audio quality.  The Turtle Beach line is much better for 
professional work, and there are some others that are also well above the SB 
quality level.

I seem to have worked out the levels well enough.  It's odd to have to boost 
the level more for recording than for simple playback, but having done so it 
seems to have produced reasonable quality.

I have some buzz in the recording that sounds like there's a ground loop - 
since both amp and turntable use ungrounded leads, it's likely one of them is 
polarized incorrectly.  If I can't fix that, I'll just run a common ground 
and see if that helps./
