To some people this device may just like an old record player, but to others this is a way of getting that fabulous sound of vinyl onto a digital format where it can listened to time after time without the worry of damaging the valuable vinyl.
This device has been tested with records of up to forty five years old and the quality has been found to be very good if not better than the original recording, if that is at all possible.
Features of the vinyl to digital music converter:
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 (works with Windows XP/Vista/7 or Mac) for breaking albums into individual tracks and removing scratches, hisses, and pops. Plugs into AC. 17″ W x 7″ H x 12″ D. (12 lbs.)
