Amazon.com Product Description

The first USB turntable that lets you convert your old vinyl collection directly to CD or MP3, the Ion Audio iTTUSB is a must for people who don't want to deal with clumsy adapters or mismatched software when transferring formats. Requiring no special drivers, the turntable comes with Audacity, a recording application that works with both PCs and Macs, as well a trial version of Bias Soundsoap 2 to clean and restore vinyl recordings. As an alternative, the turntable also works with any other software that supports USB audio input sound cards. Once connected, the turntable transfers both 33-1/3 rpm albums and 45 rpm singles to digital formats in mere minutes.

The iTTUSB also offers a few hardware extras, such as an adjustable anti-skating control for increased stereo balancing, an adjustable pitch control (+/- 8 percent), and support for high-speed vinyl recording. And thanks to the line-level outputs, you can connect to any home stereo with CD or auxiliary (AUX) inputs--no phono inputs required. The turntable comes with a cartridge and stylus, 45 adapter, and USB cable and is compatible with PCs running Windows 98, 2000, or XP and Macs running OS 9 or greater. All computers must also have at least one available USB 1.1 port.

The iTTUSB's master carton measures 20.27 by 6.85 by 17.16 inches (W x H x D) while the turntable itself weighs 7.7 pounds.

Does what is supposed to do.......2007-06-13

The turntable was nice. A cover for it would have been nice though. I am somewhat computer literate and it took me over an hour to install the software and figure out the tricks to get it to work. Be patient when you are installing this thing. Other than that a great product

Don't Waste Your Time.......2007-06-09

This product is horrible. The sound quality worse. It is poorly made, and the recording quality dismal. I think ion moles are leaving the positive reviews. Read the negative reviews before purchasing.

USB Turntable.......2007-06-09

This turntable works great and you can hear all your old vinyl. My problems were with the software. I have yet to be able to convert to a CD and get a decent recording. I think it is worth the money just to hear the old tunes, but I really wanted to be able to make some disks.

The hardware is great, but it takes some time to learn to use the Audacity software. Once you get used to it (I am not a geek) the process of converting LPs to MP3 files works very well, but be prepared to spend a lot of time on the project if you have many old albums to convert. Also, you need to download third-party software for the MP3 encoder. I do have some complaints with Audacity's editing features which are supposed to enable you to clean up the scratches, clicks & other noise on older records. Perhaps it's because I have not figured out how to properly use the software, but I suspect there is much better third-party software out there that could accomplish the task a bit easier.

Horrible Quality Or Lack There Of.......2007-06-08

The head shell is canted so many degrees outward that it's impossible to get the needle down safely onto a record. There is no sound whatsoever coming out either though it's registering on both channels and tearing up my test record. I would avoid this product at any and all costs. Mine is being returned today.
