He's meaning, on an Arto disc, because of how it's recorded, there will only
be useful signal on one of the two channels coming from your turntable, so
feeding both channels summed into your computer's input will give you extra
noise.   I don't have any Arto discs to be able to tell you which channel
the music will originate from, so you'll need to test them one at a
time....good luck!
