4.0 out of 5 stars Almost Perfect, December 29, 2006

Cactus Chris (Sandia Park, NM USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Numark TTUSB Turntable with USB (Electronics)
I've been looking for a way to easily convert the old vinyl to iPod-ready MP3s. A bunch of my old LPs will never see the light of a CD so this looked like a great, one-step way of digitizing the old, round, black things with all the grooves.

Backstory: I'm a Mac guy, and I've worked with and taught audio production for a number of years so I more or less know my way around the audio world. That said...

This works quite well, but has a few limitations. Out of the box it plugged right in via the USB port and it also has stereo RCA jacks (such as would plug into the back of your tuner/amp) on the back. Drawback #1 is that the RCA jacks are hard-wired into the base of the turntable so if you don't use them (and are using the USB connector) there's no way to get rid of them. They dangle. This _could_ be causing a problem and I'll address that in a moment.

The turntable worked great, though I"m not sure why they put a pitch control on it if there's no strobe... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Very good but could be better..., July 18, 2007
This review is from: Numark TTUSB Turntable with USB (Electronics)
The idea of having a turntable plug directly into the computer is great! The idea of easily ripping LPs is even better! A few minor changes and this could be perfect.

Pros:
1. USB support
2. Supplied software easy to use once set up
3. good quality sound
4. replaceable cartridge (unlike its cousin, the ION turntable, also built by Numark)
5. No noticeable hum
6. 1/8" stereo input for copying cassettes or anything else.

Cons:
1. completely manual - no auto reject, so don't leave the room and forget the record, you will have a wrecked needle and a new groove dug in the record.

2. No cue lever - a hassle unless you are very careful each time

3. Power switch in back of unit for some reason

4. Software (Audacity) didn't work with Windows Vista, had to try 3 different versions of the software until I found a version that worked (version 1.2.6)

5. In order to use the computer speakers for any... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars The Numark TTUSB Turntable, November 5, 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Numark TTUSB Turntable with USB (Electronics)
This Numark USB turntable addresses a very old problem for me... that of easily creating digital files from selected tracks- from my 2000+ licorace pizza albums and vintage 45's.

There are good points to this turntable, and some negatives. The parent company (Numark) also markets the "ION 'iTTUSB" turntable. The differences (besides graphics & price) between the Numark and ION are: the ION has a PLASTIC platter; the Numark has a DIECAST & MACHINED ALUMINUM platter (better mass, for more consistent disc speed). The Numark TTUSB has an "S" shaped "tone arm," where-as the ION has a straight arm; the cartridge on the ION has a non-replaceable needle in the cartridge, where-as the needle IS replaceable on the TTUSB; the TTUSB has a rather rudimentary "speed control," which they call "pitch control," which the ION does NOT have. Here is where the differences end. BOTH are of (nearly all) plastic construction. BOTH are "belt-driven," as opposed to "direct-drive." NEITHER has... Read more
