Not worth your money...December 1, 2008 This turntable just is not worth the money. The sound cable is hardwired to the machine, the software is problematic and the sound quality is not all that good. Buy a better quality machine at a little higher price and enjoy your music.

this does not work with MAC's even though the copy says it does. So it was a total waste for me.
PLEASANT SURPRISE!November 21, 2008 I kept putting off getting something like this because I was worried the audio quality wasn't going to be up to snuff, especially a model for around the $100 range. After reading the positive reviews I decided to take a chance and I have to say that for a low cost solution it was worth it. I am not planning on buying any vinyl albums but I still have about 1000 in my collection and some are either too hard or to pricey to get on CD.
I can now enjoy my vinyl records again. The unit is easy to setup and the audio quality is pretty good for such a low cost unit. It beats having my vinyl records sitting around doing nothing. I can now get them on CD. The quality is good but not quite as good as the Thorens turntable and Shure cartridge combination I had been using but that turntable finally died after 20+ years.
And the beauty is you can use it without having to plug into a receiver, just go right to the USB connection on your computer. You might want to make sure you have USB 2.0 on your computer. If not you can always get an internal 2.0 card like I did. The recording software that comes with the turntable is also easy to use.
If like me you have a vinyl collection you want to enjoy again this is a great bargain. I'm not sure how much better the higher end units are but for the money this unit is very good. I gave it 4 stars and not 5 because like I said before, I still think my conventional turntable/cartridge setup was still superior, but that cost a heck of a lot more too. [...]
11/24/08 UPDATE- after doing recordings of various styles of music I did notice that the recorded audio file does need some fine tuning to improve the quality. I was using this product with my regular Thorens turntable- http://www.xitel.com/USA/prod_inportdl.htm
I'm not tied to that company in any way so I'm only mentioning it because it works and does help. I set the switch on the Audio Technica to Line and then plug the RCA cables directly into the Xitel unit mentioned above. I then plug the other end of the Xitel unit into the USB on my computer. I find the sound to be a bit sweeter and fuller and requires less enhancing although I still do enhance it a bit.
Again, I have nothing to do with Xitel but I think their product is worth mentioning as I have used it and I like it. Read up on it and see what you think. Cheers!
FantasticNovember 20, 2008 I bought this turntable for my partner and she just loves it. She already has over 50 of her vinyls transferred to cds. She says, it's one of the best gifts, I have ever bought her.
Doing WellNovember 19, 2008 Just as I expected. Adding LP's to my digital collection as I had wished to do. I'm not using the software from the box, but other program which was reported to be better. Competely satisfied with the turntable.
