You know the other I was clearing out an old cupboard and right in the furthest corner was a box, inside there are quite few LP’s, nothing rare or anything like that. However, it did me thinking about what to do with them.
The obvious reaction would be to play them but on what? So then, the next choice is going to be selling them and then I found this USB powered record player that not only lets you listen to those old tunes, but will convert them to a digital WAV format.
Features – An independent media testing firm used 21, 31, and 45 year-old records to test sound quality and this model was found to provide superior digital sound capture. The belt-driven turntable has an automatic-return tone arm with cue lever and a diamond stylus that faithfully reproduces sound through integrated 8-watt stereo speakers. Its sturdy wood cabinet has a carrying handle and removable lid and is protected by black vinyl skin and composite corner covers. It plays 33, 45 or 78-rpm records, has an auxiliary jack for connecting an iPod, and a tone dial control. Includes USB cable and recording software (PC/Mac) for breaking albums into individual tracks and removing scratches, hisses, and pops. Plugs into AC. 17″ W x 7″ H x 11″ D. (12 lbs.) Priced at $149.95
