You need the receiver or an amplifier since turntables typically don't have built in amplifiers, and the signal would be way too weak to input directly thru your sound card. I picked up a nice receiver for my pc from a pawn shop pretty cheap, now I can connect cassette, 8-track, turntable, vcr, etc. to my pc thru the receiver. It is great having a vcr hooked up to the pc, many movies and documentaries not available on DVD have great sound clips to record! If you already have a component stereo system, you can just run a line to your pc from that if it is close enough. Saves expense of getting any special equipment.
