any recommendations for a turntable to convert vinyl to digital format?
any that I should stay away from?
want easy, fast; don't want to have to tinker with.
but, i don't want hum or other bad things.
i'm no audiophile really!
TIA, Judy
Ion makes a turntable that plugs into the USB port, it seems like a
descent unit but I have not tried it.
I found this laypersons review of the unit.

If you have a nice turntable and stereo set I would get a externa

I recently purchased one from Amazon for a friend (Audio Technica
AT-LP2DUSB). As I recall, there weren't a lot of options as to
quality; certainly not the selection there was in the old days.

Audacity also allows you to do that, but as Tony mentioned, it
requires some audio editing skill. The automatic function only works
some of the time, so you end up doing it manually.

some ppl think vinyl sounds better than anything! (I don't weigh in with
any opinion; don't think my 'ear' is good enough to tell!)

Many of the arguments for vinyl being better arose at a time when CD
sound was not as good as it is today. But LPs are certainly better than
MP3s if you have a good turntable. It is often said that vinyl has a
"warm" quality and the slight sound of a turntable can be nostalgic for
those who r
I bought a Crosley. If you enter "crosley truntable" into an
amazon.com search you'll find a bunch of different ones. I bought the
Crosley CR248 Songwriter CD Recorder. I haven't yet actually burned a
CD with it, so I can't attest to the quality. But it looks and seems

Some things to consider, are these 78s?
If so this may be more difficult than it first appears.
Even if they're all LPs, how many do you have to digitize?
Are the equivalents available on CD (I ask

Klipsch speakers at one time were made in Hope, AR. I worked there
(City not factory) for a short time. The owner (Paul Kilipsch) drive
a Mercedes around town and so did his wife with personalized license

That page contains an assortment of pretty much everything

Not necessarily. I haven't tried it myself, but couldn't you use a
standard USB turntable at 33 or 45 rpm and correct the sound via
editing I wonder?
Of course, that would only fix the speed and pitch. The horrendous
clicks, hiss, and skips would be impossible to eliminate.
FWIW, I gave away all

The groove width and angle differ between LPs and 78s.
That's why you had flippable styli on phonographs of the transition
period.

One was good, the other three were horrible - lots of
hisses and pops.
Surface noise and dynamic range were killers to LPs. You
could knock out a lot of the surface noise with proper care.
Use of a Discwasher, antistatic mats and lined sleeves went
a long way. Quality pressings and vertical st
For converting 78's to digital, I used to use an old Miracord changer
that had a GE VRII cartridge, coupled to an equally ancient Marantz
"audio consolette" preamplifier that has equalization for various old 78
recording curves. I go from the single tape output (remember this is all
monaural) t
I recently sent a link to the turntable I bought from Crosley. I was
wrong. It's actually this one, Songwriter CD Burner / Player with

cassette player.

I've seen some of the Crosley line in Target if you want to get up close and
personal with one before you buy.
