Sent It Back August 31, 2010
Aaron
I was anxious to get a good machine, but this is not the one! There is a loud hum in the recorded music when played on I-Tunes. As an audiophile, I know it should be grounded. Alas, no ground wire. E-mailed Customer Service. No reply. Sent it back. Look for another machine.

Good turntable for ripping albums. August 26, 2010
W. C. Scharsch (Paradise, CA)
This is a pretty good turntable and it makes ripping albums fairly easy. The included EZ Vinyl software could be more robust though as there are no real recording preferences you can set. This may keep the process simple and does provide an adequate recording, but you will need to use another recording software if you want real control. An older version of Audacity is included though so I don't want to make too big an issue of this. All in all, this unit is easy to set-up and use and makes a resonable quality recording with little user effort. I expect many years of service from this unit.

Works better than I expected August 10, 2010
Dennis Hysko
Wasn't sure how it would work, but copies LP's into I tunes, and then extremely easy to put on audio disc. Even can shuffle the selections. Glad I choose this turntable over the other ones, as it works fantastic.

Sure beats replacing vinyl & cassettes with CDs to listen on my Mac or in my car! August 8, 2010

My husband and I have a lot of old records and cassettes that we are transferring to our computers, and then plan to burn CDs for listening in our vehicles & to fall asleep to on our CD/clock/radio. I'd seen this turntable in a local department store for MUCH more money, and after researching a bit decided to give it a go. Since we have two Macs, I wasn't concerned about it going directly into iTunes--that's what we wanted. However, there are some issues we had with it:
1) the directions that come with it are not as clear as they could be, especially setting up the tonearm counterweight.
2) there was no instruction on changing the computer System Preferences for sound input, so when we played back what we tried to convert, we heard our own voices since the sound input was set on the default computer microphone.
3) the audacity software that comes with it is free, and one would immediately need to download the newest version from the website--but we had a better choice!**

Since purchasing my iMac in May, I've been taking "One-to-One" classes at the Apple store to learn how to use all the software on my beautiful computer! The trainer told me that using GarageBand software already on my Mac was a **much better choice instead of the Audacity software. He showed me step by step what to do--hope it helps someone else:
- connect the USB plug to your Mac and turntable, turn on turntable
- go into System Pref.--->Sound--->Input--->select USB option, then close
- click on GarageBand--->Create New--->click on Piano in upper left and click Command+Delete--->click on "+" in lower left--->click on Monitor in lower right and select ON (so you can hear what's recording as you do it--much easier)--->play a bit of the record and set the Recording Level on the top left, the bars should be close to red dots--->click on Real Instrument Track--->click Record button (red button on bottom middle of screen) and start album
- hit the space bar to pause/stop recording when you need to flip over album if recording entire album
- click on Save GarageBand project
- click on Share menu at top--->choose Send song to iTunes--->fill out info on next screen

Tomorrow I am learning how to split the album songs I transferred into separating tracks in iTunes; I'll come back to edit this and add that info. When everything is great in iTunes, I'll delete the GB projects.

For transferring cassette tapes, you need to switch to Line (from Phono) in back of turntable, leave gain at halfway setting, plug in to front of turntable "1/8" Stereo Line Input", adjust volume on tape player.

One other things: make sure your records are really clean, because the transfer will pick up any extra sounds--scratches, dust, etc.

All in all, I'm really looking forward to listening to music from my albums and cassettes without having to replace everything with CDs!

Bad Recording July 29, 2010
Andrew Botz-Zapp (hell)
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

When I record my vinyl, the program is just recording from the Mac's speakers, resulting with quiet, tight sound quality. So basically, it records everything, even me talking. I'm not sure if I set it up wrong, or if that's the way is works. When it's recording, the record sound fine. I can even put in my headphones and it would sound just like a regular song I bought from iTunes. But instead, it records through the speakers, not the computer. If you know the solution, please help!
