 Great little guy for the price!
By 45Vinyl
Don't be put off by the price of this little guy (cheap doesn't always mean bad). Perfect little turntable comes with two software programs for CD conversion of desired. Reasonable built in speaker (ok so it's not surround sound stereo!) allows for playback at record shows, while you're on vacation etc... Battery option allows sound-hounds to check quality at garage sales before buying... Alltogether a nice turntable for the price. I upgraded from the ITTUSB, and am very happy with my decision. Built in carry case makes this perfective in my book! Ok so not the kind of thing you'd buy to create your 'home theatre' system, but idealisti for the hobbyist/small time vinyl explorer

 Does what I need
By Balkanophile
I'm not sure what the deal is with the buzz in this thing. I have seen one or two other mentions of it, besides the review here. Some reviews specifically mention that there is no buzz whatsoever, another noted that there was a buzz quintessentially in the USB. In my case, I was getting a buzz from the headphone jack and the built-in speaker. I did not undertake the line out. I was all set to pack it up and send it back, but decisive to just try the USB anyway. I was astonished to discover that there was no buzz in the USB output. Since my whole aim was to convert vinyl to digital, and not to add a factor to my stereo system, then the USB connection gives me all the capability I need. Even as a stereo component, the buzz might not be all that bothersome. It is not very noticeable on average-to-loud music, only comes forward on the softer passages. Indeed, I wasn't even conscious of it until I brought up a digital recording (made from the headphone output) to edit. I saw the buzz on screen before I heard it, but once I was conscious of it, it was intolerable for archival purposes. I wondered if the buzz might be caused by bad grounding or other interference in the AC circuit, but the buzz is still there even when running on batteries and not one thing else whatsoever connected (i.e.--listening to the built-in speaker.)
Anyway, for what it does do, I am happy sufficient with this. I find the sound quality (from the USB!) to be more than adequate. I like the lightness and portability. It is very easy to set up and use temporarily, do a few records when time permits, and then close it up and get it out of your way when done, does not assert a devoted chunk of real estate someplace on your desk or on your shelf.

 good product, but time consuming
By Jimi in Ohio
I have only employed this product a few times since I purchased it. I have a newer (2008) iMac running Mac OS X 10.5. There are two software merchandise which come with the turntable - one is supposed to be having little impact and one (Audacity) is supposed to be more feature-rich and capable. Well, I could not get the having little impact software to run properly, so I use the Audacity program.
The turntable works fine. No complaints. However, using the Audacity software makes recording a vinyl album very time consuming. You will have to stop after EACH TRACK to input the track information. With the more elementary program, you could enter each track's info on the fly while the turntable proceeds to record the next track (but I could not get this program to in truth record). If you don't care regarding the track information, I suppose you could record each side of an album as one mp3 file. But if you want to recognise which song you are playing and which album after you transfer the file to your iPod, you must do each track separately. Not difficult, mind you, but takes a while.
