Are professionally-produced CD's of the albums you're interested in not
available? They may well have much better sound than anything you could
produce with home-grown equipment.

Well maybe I'LL have to settle for getting a cassette deck that plugs into my
computer and putting the cassette copy I have on the harddrive, and then
transfer to CD, but a problem with this is that then, it's a second
generation copy, and I hear those aren't as good as a first one!

Subject: RE: Seeking information on USB turntables
Must say Dave, simply from my impressions of the ION USB turntable I saw,
the build quality didn't seem impressive so I'm inclined to think these
turntables are very basic performers technically.
I'd much sooner go for a Hi Fi turntable with magnetic cartridge and a good
pre-amp. These cost!
Either that or consider using a company doing vinyl transfer as a paid-for
service.
After all is said though, depends entirely on how critical you are about
sound quality. I've yet to start transfering my treasured vinyls but I know
it is going to be time-consuming.
Hope these thoughts are of some help.

I'm just wondering what quality of turntable these will be.

Well, there were such things as Music Centres - as we called them here in
Brittain - which combined turntables with cassette decs. Still we're
talking 'old' here, and I guess you want a USB hardware device that does the
two.
I've not seen an USB combi anywhere for transfering old anoalogue stuff. I
know here a brand called ION has seemingly cornered the market in three
seperate units that do vinyl records, audio cassettes, and VHS videos. So
I if you've not held on to the various old stuff that could have done this
via hooking through a converter, then this is the only way to go.
