I've been looking for a USB turntable for a while, but the Ion and Numark ones looked pretty plasticy, and I wanted one made by a company that knows how to make a turntable. I found the Soundlab one on Amazon, and having used Soundlab turntables as a DJ, knew that they knew what they were doing. I received it today, and I'm now in the middle of recording my second album. It's everything I expected - it's a lower-end (belt-drive) turntable, of good solid build quality, that just happens to have a USB output. It comes with Audacity, and just works "out of the box" very simply. If you're someone who wants something a bit more serious than the "gadget-lover" turntables this competes with, at a similar price.. Take a look at this turntable.

I took delivery of this stylish turntable just over a week ago and am absolutely delighted with it. The instruction manual which came with the turntable is pretty basic. It will get you started but that's about it. I had to spend a bit of time configuring my computer to enable the turntable to play through my computer soundcard, and the manual gives you very little assistance with this. This is a pity because the turntable itself is a great piece of kit and I urge the manufacturer to issue a decent instruction booklet for both the kit and the Audacity software package that comes with it(especially for novices like me). My turntable now plays and records perfectly. The oversize switch for starting the turntable takes a little bit of getting used to. You have to press it in a particularly spot. Once you have mastered this there is no problem. Most manufacturers of these turntables tell you that they are not compatible with Windows XP Media Centre edition operating system, the reason for which I do not understand. Well let me say that I use Media Centre and have not experienced any issue with the Soundlab turntable. I can recommend this fantastic piece of kit to anyone wishing to digitise their vinyl record collection (you can even digitise 78's).
