Electronics : ION - iTTUSB-05 USB Record deck


Purchased this through ACS Media on Amazon.co.uk Marketplace and item arrived swiftly and in perfect condition.

I'm not that technically competent so a brief teething trouble (I had to disconnect my webcam to allow the turntable to be heard) was swiftly resolved with a quick call to the Ion tech helpdesk (although they're only open during office hours) who were excellent.

The software takes less than 30 seconds to install and is extremely simple to use. I've not had the need to try the advanced software as yet, but played back through iTunes it sounds great to me.

There are also leads to attach the turntable to your stereo so can use as a separate also for playing old vinyl records via an existing sound ... Read More:

Electronics : ION - iTT USB Turntable


Well, having read the good and poor reviews about this product, I have to say, all I can give is full marks to the turntable. It is a full size turntable, (which is rare even these days), a belt driven turntable for low rumble and the turntable itself has a high torque, which handles albums perfect, and the test for high torque is of course to see how much the belt slips. This one was perfect.
Setting up was a cinch, plug in the USB plug, install the Audacity software, (by the way the turntable also has phono plugs to play your records on a normal hi fi system - great extra!)
Once audacity is setup, just a few tweaks to the software itself, to change it from the default MONO recording, to STEREO recording, and then search for the lame mp3 ... Read More:

4.ION LP DOCK USB Turntable with Universal Dock for iPod from: Ion

Electronics : ION LP DOCK USB Turntable with Universal Dock for iPod


The turntable really does what it says on the tin - it turns your vinyl into MP3 files for import onto an iPod, but boy do you have to go through some hoops to get there. If you have accumulated vinyl from your days at university in the 60's and 70's, then forget getting track names from gracenote. This utility is patchy at the best, and if you have classic music albums, eg beethovens Violin concerto, then forget the various parts to whole piece ie the Allegro, andante con molto, gracenote gets it as the title of the first piece, and as classical recordings tend not to have deliniated tracks, but fade into each other, then one has to go into iTunes and insert the names manually.
Or if you have a pop album but don't want all the tracks, you have to ... Read More:

10.Sony MZ-NHF800 Silver Hi-MiniDisc Walkman with Tuner from: Sony

Electronics : Sony MZ-NHF800 Silver Hi-MiniDisc Walkman with Tuner
The software - Sonicstage - is a bit awkward and frequently stalled on me at first, it wouldn't let me transfer tracks to the MD. Also, it could only cope with transferring a few tracks at a time.

However i can't fault the actual player, which is great. Because it uses normal AA batteries you don't have to carry the charger around, and it has a great battery life. The sound is crystal clear and it has a great compression rate to fit about 500 songs on a 1GB disc.

If the software had been better i would have given it 5 stars
