Does anybody have one of these or does anybody know anybody with one of these or do you knw where to get a decent review of one because i can only find shitty retail reviews that all boast how good it is...
any comments? i need a turntable and a usb one sounds extremely easy. if it transfers better than the slightly poor transfer i get from the headphone socket of my 1970s stereo then thats cool...
comment - opinion? thanks

to be honest the turntable looks a little rubbish and the analogue to digital convertors will probably not be up to much either. get a decent turntable and a decent usb sound card. easy.
easy? decent = 1210... £400, maybe 300 if yer lucky. USB soundcard also like another £100 - £150 some thinks likie, maybe the lottery...
link link direct drive will cost you. if you dont need to scratch you can save a lot. imo vestax and technics are tied for turntable goodness, numark close behind with some interesting new features edit: i played with one of these link and it was quite fun. little spendy but cool features. digital out. also newmark makes a simpler version that has usb out: link is there not some belief that direct drive dex are a pain for sampling anyway coz of the hum from the motor? When you sample something from the motor, and then gain it up/ process it, you get a load of extra noise from the motor in the recording hence it stays in the sound .. annoying when making track...
as in, isnt it better to have a beld drive one which makes no hum when you sample it...? a properly grounded turntable doesn't hum either way. i think that the one you're looking at may be slightly crappy and probably has problems with drivers and whatnot... having said that... _when_ it works it will probably sound better than your old stereo's headphone outs. but omg.. "high speed vinyl recording"... stuff like that would really put me off.
what he said. anything that has that kind of star trek plastic is gonna suck. buy a second hand technics slb-d22 deck - lovely machines
link and with a decent soundcard you can record anything. mrmr: why do you want a turntable btw?
i got loads of records which r going to waste. ive been putinmg them on ebay, but its breaking my heart and i know if i spent sum cash on a decent route into my pro tools system it'd be an excellent source of sound. thats about it.im weighing up the benefits with the chore...
