Ion Audio iPTUSB Portable USB Turntable with Software and Built-in Speaker

I wasn't able to transfer audio to my hackintosh, but I don't think that has anything to do with this unit. I didn't try very hard either.

I keep it connected straight to my receiver and I appreciate the portability and small footprint. Now I'm testing the old quandary: is it possible to keep a record collection and a girlfriend at the same time?

Easy to use, does a very good job of what it is intended for. My only complaint is that the gain knob is in a very awkward place and makes it easy to bump the unit and cause a skip while trying to adjust. That is a minor complaint for the price of the unit.

Don't waste your money, this is nothing more than a toy.
Very poorly made, buggy software and horrible sound quality. The stylus is horrible.
Plus, it forces you to use iTunes, there is no useful way to edit tracks, and the sound quality is unacceptable.

It might be ok for someone with no concept of audio quality, which would explain the 4 and 5 start ratings.
If you want to archive your vinyl, just buy a USB Phono Preamp here on Amazon, and plug your turntable into it. There are hundreds of used tables for sale on the 'net. Then you get a real turntable, an excellent converter with analog and digital outputs for slightly more money than this child's toy. And that gives you the ability to edit and/or clean up your vinyl recordings with something like Cool Edit, Audacity or some other freeware/open source audio editing software.

It's a great product for the first turntable I bought. Compared to others I've heard, the sound quality is much better. It's light and easy to carry and I move it from my bedroom to the living room a lot. It's definitely been the center of the party and everyone loves it. I like that it can be plugged into other speakers too when needed-haven't needed it yet.

This unit is much more compact than I expected. It stores and unpacks quickly and is easy to use and understand. I am recording to MP3 all my vinal and Cassetts and this has made the job MUCH easier. You will not be dissappointed.
