OK I am for sure, getting the Mia, I found a music place here in town that has them for $99, such a deal. Now they use a 1/4 inch balanced plug, I am not too sure what this connector is for sure, from the photo it looks like a 1/4 inch headphone jack, is it the same? I need to figure out the right connectors to run off my stereo for now (rca plugs) for reocrding vinyl.

Thanks all.

Essentially, yes, but each jack is balanced. If you want to run your stereo into it you can use RCA to mono 1/4" jack leads - the lack of a 'ring' connector will automatically unbalance the input, and if you set the card to -10dB input level, it will work fine.

Just don't get spooked by the lack of an input level control - it really is just one switch per channel!
