Not worth your money...2008-12-01
This turntable just is not worth the money. The sound cable is hardwired to the machine, the software is problematic and the sound quality is not all that good. Buy a better quality machine at a little higher price and enjoy your music.
hard to tell2008-11-22
this does not work with MAC's even though the copy says it does.
So it was a total waste for me.
PLEASANT SURPRISE!2008-11-21
I kept putting off getting something like this because I was worried the audio quality wasn't going to be up to snuff, especially a model for around the $100 range. After reading the positive reviews I decided to take a chance and I have to say that for a low cost solution it was worth it. I am not planning on buying any vinyl albums but I still have about 1000 in my collection and some are either too hard or to pricey to get on CD.

I can now enjoy my vinyl records again. The unit is easy to setup and the audio quality is pretty good for such a low cost unit. It beats having my vinyl records sitting around doing nothing. I can now get them on CD. The quality is good but not quite as good as the Thorens turntable and Shure cartridge combination I had been using but that turntable finally died after 20+ years.

And the beauty is you can use it without having to plug into a receiver, just go right to the USB connection on your computer. You might want to make sure you have USB 2.0 on your computer. If not you can always get an internal 2.0 card like I did. The recording software that comes with the turntable is also easy to use.

If like me you have a vinyl collection you want to enjoy again this is a great bargain. I'm not sure how much better the higher end units are but for the money this unit is very good. I gave it 4 stars and not 5 because like I said before, I still think my conventional turntable/cartridge setup was still superior, but that cost a heck of a lot more too.

11/24/08 UPDATE-
after doing recordings of various styles of music I did notice that the recorded audio file does need some fine tuning to improve the quality.
I was using this product with my regular Thorens turntable-
http://www.xitel.com/USA/prod_inportdl.htm

I'm not tied to that company in any way so I'm only mentioning it because it works and does help. I set the switch on the Audio Technica to Line and then plug the RCA cables directly into the Xitel unit mentioned above. I then plug the other end of the Xitel unit into the USB on my computer. I find the sound to be a bit sweeter and fuller and requires less enhancing although I still do enhance it a bit.

Again, I have nothing to do with Xitel but I think their product is worth mentioning as I have used it and I like it. Read up on it and see what you think. Cheers!

I bought this turntable for my partner and she just loves it. She already has over 50 of her vinyls transferred to cds. She says, it's one of the best gifts, I have ever bought her.
Doing Well2008-11-19
Just as I expected. Adding LP's to my digital collection as I had wished to do. I'm not using the software from the box, but other program which was reported to be better. Competely satisfied with the turntable.

Why You Should Use A Mini DV Camcorder
Introduction The mini DV camcorder has many advantages to offer its users. If you enjoy your digital video camera you will also enjoy this. The mini DV camcorder is easier to take with you than the regular sized cameras such as the hi definition camcorder, or the hi-Res camcorder. The size of this camcorder is one of its big advantages. The features this camcorder can offer are also great. Some cameras offer more features than others, so make sure that the camera has the features you want. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Generally when design, performance and technological improvements are made on electronic products there is a reduction in size as well to make them more compact. For example the early day radios were built in large cabinets and required radio vacuum tubes. Eventually, transistor radios were constructed and were more portable. Today, a radio can be as small as a wristwatch. Camcorders have also evolved in tec ...
Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents. In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...
