bruce i would have to respectifully disagree with you
with a good home recording set up you can get the same pro recordings as the
pro's do, and so for those of you who like to do the restoration of vinal,
tapes, 78's and lps and reels and the like go for it

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.

transfer to CD, but a problem with this is that then, it's a second

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.
