I don't recall Steve mentioning that he had a CD Recorder.  You have to
have one in order to connect the amp out to it.  And come to think of
it, he didn't mention having an amp, only a Sony reel to reel recorder. 
I think that it might also have served as his amp. And if he is not to
use a computer, how will the digitized recordings get on-line?  That IS
his purpose.  Actually it seems from his postings that his problem for
the past six months or more is getting a wire connected to his
cartridge.
