How to transfer LP to iMAC Computer

We have several LP recordings that are not available in CD format. We have an Onkyo turntable (old) and I would like to transfer my LP recordings to iTunes on my iMAC computer. Any suggestions on an easy way to do this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My inexpensive solution for this (on a Mac) is an M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 USB converter and Amadeus software from Hairersoft. The converter cost under $100 on eBay and the software was $50.

But Daniel (Musicslug) is right, the associated equipment makes as much difference as the quality of the conversion. Even my little setup, which sounds pretty good considering, is improved with better cables. If your LPs are important to you, you might consider his suggestion seriously.

Either that, or use the project as an excuse to upgrade your turntable... ;o)

If you are going to use a stereo miniplug-to-dual RCA cable, I highly recommend the Zu Pivot. It's the best cable of its type I've found and will make a serious difference to the quality of your recordings over even most premium cables of that type.
