"Why does this unit cost [$] + tax?Save your money for something better.Easy to set up and easy to use don’t mean squat if the tone arm, the cartridge, the stylus and the pre-amp are junk.The sound quality of those things on this unit isn’t as good as many of today’s boom-boxes.And neither of them are user replaceable or serviceable.You’re stuck with them if you buy this unit and who knows how long the stylus will last.And btw, for some, using the USB connection and the supplied software seems desirable, but the same results can be achieved using the tape/aux out from your receiver connected to the line input of your computers sound card.Some computers these days have sound cards that use RCA inputs that makes it even easier.You might want to keep that in mind if and when purchasing a turntable for the purpose of converting LP music to other formats."

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

"Great review. I changed my mind about buying one after reading and researching this review. They had them on WOOT for $49.99 + $5 S&H, and I still passed it up."
