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.

- Great Invention
After looking for years for a device to convert vinyl to computer files, it was great to see that someone finally came up with a turntable that would USB directly into the computer. Fantastic invention. Works great.

- Piece of junk
I bought this from an on-line store about 9 months ago (not amazon). Because I had problems with wiring in my home stereo, I only just recently was able to hook this thing up to my system.

This table is lousy. I wish I could give it 0 stars because it doesn't do the most important thing it is supposed to do---- play a vinyl record with the sound quality you expect. My circa 1984 Magnavox all-in-one stereo system does a better job here. First of all, the RCA A/V cables are hard wired into the machine and are only about a foot, maybe 18 inches long. So they barely reach to where I have my receiver/amplifier to plug them in. Second, the casing seems to be cheap plastic and poorly constructed.

Worst of all, is the sound. I am not sure what is wrong with this thing--- I think the belt drive is off for one (which seems to be a frequent problem with other reviews). It seems to be just a touch slow, ... Read More

- I've got my "ION" Vinyl Records
This unit was just perfect for converting LPs to mp3 files and CDs. I will admit that it was a tiny challenge setting the tone arm adjustments just right. Also, I was concerned over the fact that there is no cue function to carefully place your tone arm on a record without scratching it. Overall, it is great, especially to convert old 78 rpm records (with Audacity, of course). And of course to just sit and play your records with ease.

Now..the USB situation is fine but I choose to stick with the traditional RCA plugs to use the sound card to provide full sound. The other software was fine for the USB thing. I basically use the Analog Recorder from the Microsoft Plus software package and Audacity (when needed).

It's well worth the price and the adventure to set it up.

- opnion about Ion TTUSB Turntable USB Record bought to my father
My father has been having a hard time in using the product. He has already installed it but he has not learned how to record his old long-plays. He has beeing doing it by himselsf but - I guess - there is not a manual in portuguese nor in espanish.
So far, that's all I have do say about the product.
I ordered the product from Brasil, where I live. It was deliveried in time in NYC, where I spent part of my vacations.
