Amazon.com Product Description Numark has created a portable turntable that enables you to convert your vinyl to WAV or MP3. This rugged, portable turntable can run on either wall or battery power, comes with a cover with integrated carry-handle, and has an internal speaker for total mobility.
Using the included recording software, no special drivers are needed to connect PT-01USB to any Mac or PC via USB and transfer music from vinyl to hard disk. EZ Vinyl Converter 2 (PC) and EZ Audio Converter (Mac) software are included to make recording and importing audio simple. EZ Vinyl Converter 2 imports your songs directly into your iTunes library, automatically separating tracks, and free, downloadable upgrade includes Gracenote MusicID, which can even automatically name your tracks. PT-01USB also comes with Audacity software for editing your tracks. Audacity also helps reduce clicks, pops, and other noises from your recordings to restore the full quality of your vinyl.
PT-01USB has an RCA line input so you can connect other sound sources such as tape decks and convert them to digital files too! RCA line outputs enable connection to your DJ system or home stereo so you can use PT-01USB as a standard record-player. In addition to the internal speaker and RCA outputs, you can also listen with headphones.
With 33, 45, and 78 RPM speeds, PT-01USB works with your entire record collection. There's even a 10% pitch control to help you optimize your tracks for whatever need you have.
Advanced vinyl-to-digital conversion that's ready to roll when and where you are: PT-01USB.

So close to being great!November 24, 2008 I want to love this little Numie, I really, REALLY do. It fits perfectly in a record crate, and has an overall good feel to it. It can run for quite a long time off of batteries, which is neat. And somehow, it manages to get HUGE sound out of its little built-in speaker. It's held up very well over the past 80 or so hours of usage, even after being toted around and tossed about.
HOWEVER, however, as others have mentioned, there is a very noticeable audio quality difficiency with certain frequencies. It's apparent when using the built-in speaker, and totally overwhelming when using headphones or recording (and don't worry, I tried all the outputs, at all different levels with types of equipment). I haven't taken the plunge and replaced the stylus (or even the whole cartridge), because that'd be about 40% of the cost of the entire unit right there. If I knew for sure that that'd solve the problem, though, I'd go for it!
Another odd quirk is trying to play records with the unit plugged in and batteries installed. It seems like the RPMs are more apt to drop when in this configuration. It's absolutely not a dealbreaker, as it's super-easy to pop out the batteries when you're not using them, but I thought I'd mention it for anyone else experiencing the same issue. I get pitch-perfect speed when using just the AC adapter -or- just batteries.
Ah, Numark PT01... you're such a neat, neat record player. Why can't you just sound a little better!??
Very happy with this turntableOctober 14, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a great little turntable. I have had it about two years and have never had a problem with it. Those who are disappointed by the fact that they cannot hook it up to their stereo would do well to read the name of the product; Numark PT01 Portable Turntable.

if your looking at this to buy to play on your house stereo you will probably be disappointed this is a portable player and should be used as such. it has a very tinny sound no depth at all do not be cheap when it comes to purchasing a record player
Great little turntable!September 2, 2008 Now since last year I have been looking for a turntable to use for my lp collection and I have found just what I was looking for. This turntable works great and connects easily with any speaker system that you may have.
Love the Numark PT01 Portable DJ TurntableAugust 7, 2008 This turntable works great! You really need to plug into speakers as the built-in speaker is very quiet. We hooked it up to some M-Audio Studiophle AV 40 powered speakers and it sounds fantastic (you can also plug your ipod into these speakers). I have been listening to my old records like crazy. Warning, it will make you want to buy new vinyl too! It is plastic, lightweight, and easy to use, but maybe not as heavy and solid as some folks would want. It is great for trying out vinyl in the store, very portable with batteries, but certainly heavier. I do not know yet how long 6 batteries last. It's fun.
