ION Turntable

[John]

Anyone seen this? It's a USB based turntable for copying traditional
records to a computer or digital recording source....

Looks like an interesting gadget to be sure, if only those boxes of
records had not warped they could be played.

And on a related note here's a laser based turntable that uses a laser like a
CD player to play records
No it doesn't. It measures the reflective angle in an attempt to acquire

the audio information from the disk's audio content. They've never worked
half as well as a standard player in good condition. They tend to be best at
playing the crud in the grooves instead of the grooves.

So it's a cheap crappy turntable with a built in A-D and USB interface.
So what?

They're the only sort of records you would want to play on such a piece of
crap.
Buy a decent turntable if you do actually have records worth recording.

Jeez he was just pointing out a convenient one-box solution. Ease up on the
angry pills!
