Easy to use right out of the box
"I bought this because my 12 year old shelf system turntable stopped turning. This turntable has a pre-amp built into it so it should be easy to run thru the old system, but I decided to run it directly through my computer and archive some of my vinyl. Here's the story: The unit must have the software installed to play through your computer. In order to record to mp3 format you not only have to have their sof..." Read Full Review »

Save the money for something better.
"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 wil..."

Found A Better Solution

Pros

"I got this to transfer music from some 400-odd LPs and cassettes onto CD or DVD format. 80 albums in, I gotta say it's grueling work. I tried the Audacity software and chose to use the EZ simple one, take the music as it comes, snap crackle stuh-uh, stuh-uh. I see that I might have done this better …" Read Full Review »
