“Have been without a turntable for over 4 years prior to purchasing this unit, since the options that had been available were shoddy with no thought given to the end user’s experience with vinyl.
This turntable is quite solid overall. Would I like to have had auto return and a tone arm lift? Yes. But, considering how generous and forgiving this turntable is with my old albums, it is minor. (NOTE TO COLLECTORS: I am in it for the music, not trying to sell people an over-inflated price on music that should be heard, not hoarded.)
I use a Mac (of course), and the software is seamless. I jack this into my home Philips home theatre system for the most part, and the sound is amazing. I often play “Back to Black” by Amy Winehouse and Anita Baker’s “Rapture” for guests lately, and they cannot believe the sound and warmth.
I used the pitch control seldomly, and it works like a charm (Black Sabbath’s “Mob Rules” and the self titled debut from Wolfmother have greatly benefitted from this.)
Spend a little extra, and get something that will make the music shine like it was meant to be heard.”

“I bought this turntable to turn my vast record collection into MP3’s. This is a great product for turning old records & tapes into MP3’s. The turntable is easy to use. I dio not have any problems with the output cords, I just leave them under the turntable out of the way. The only drawbacks I have is that there is no dust cover for the turntable & that the instructions for saving as MP3’s could have been a bit better. I had a few initial problems at first, not with the turntable, but with the directions for using the Audacity software. The directions say to save the songs then convert them to MP3. I downloaded the LAME software & could not get it to run on my computer. I tried other converter programs, but none were compatible with the Audacity’s save format. I then noticed the export as MP3 & found that there is no need to save the file & convert it first before exporting. Once you have recorded your song from record or tape, just export as MP3 to any other drive & it automatically saves as an MP3 on that drive. I have mine on an external 500GB drive & have burned them to CD’s without any problems.”
