* A decent set of headphones (for monitor purposes). And probably a decent set of speakers to check the full range
* A preamp. The output gain from most turntables is low. This is normal. In one of the vinyls I was trying to restore, it was so low the computer wouldn't record anything. A preamp with monitor output, and simple input/output gain controls is probably fine.
You should also make sure your soundcard has a good SNR. The Creative Audigy 2 Platinum Ex has a good one, although it's taken ages for Creative Labs to turn this product into anything more than gamers toy. There's plenty of high-quality professional level cards that will do this very well, and cost less than the Audigy / Extigy (I checked earlier, I cant remember the manufacturer of the cards I was looking at tho, will append later).

+It's now Christmas day. I made a few CD copies of what I acheived last night, which sounded at the time like a great improvement. I'm sure it was a great improvement, however its wise to use the correct speed setting when playing back records. I'd been testing the input with a Faith No More LP (45), and forgot to flick the speed setting back down when I started with Music for the Feast of Christmas.

+I'm thinking of stamping a label on the CDs I wrote calling them "Music for the Feast of Christmas, by the Chipmunks of Ely Cathedral"
