TDK Life on Record 77000015378 USB Belt Drive Turntable Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really had high hopes for this product, I am fairly computer savvy and had no problems setting up the turntable and installing the software.
That being said I found the software to be almost non-functional. I was unable to listen while I was recording! That is a big fail.
Vinyl (especially vinyl like mine that has been ever so carefully preserved) has a tendency to ski, pop etc.
Without being able to hear what is being recorded you could easily record an hour of a skip or not hear when the side is over and just record blank space.
There are very few hidden tracks on an LP.
The turntable itself is a very nice machine. I plugged it into the Home theater, slipped on an old Master Disc (remember those?) and was highly impressed with the sound quality.
There is a lot to be said for the way vinyl sounds after so many years of digital music.
TDK, you have a nice piece of hardware here, now make software that is up to the task.

TEAC GF-550 Turntable with Cassette, Radio and CD Recorder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this about three years ago, and for the first couple years it got light use...mostly listening to old records and cassette...during which it worked well, the sound quality was decent, and I was a happy camper. Recently I started recording some of my cassettes and records to CDs, and my favorable opinion collapsed. The cassette player fried itself while recording a Patsy Cline tape (didn't like C&W maybe?) and then a short time later the recording function itself started acting quirky...sometimes it would record and sometimes not. (not just C&W)
Basically, the unit worked well as long as I didn't use it much. Now I'm looking for something with which to send records and cassettes into my trusty iMac where I can burn them to CDs. Suggestions appreciated. TIA

Audio-Technica AT-LP240-USB Direct-Drive Turntable, USB and Analog Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received this unit yesterday and set it up last night in about an hour. I was immediately impressed by the quality of construction. The unit is very heavy and radiates an air and look of an 'audiophile' piece. I purchased a Shure M97 cartridge to go with it and am equally impressed with that.
The packaging was excellent. I would just caution to be extra careful when unpacking as some of the parts are in nooks and crannies in the box and are a little difficult to see at first.
After setup, I spun a few old records that I inherited from my Dad and was blown away by the warm, velvety sound of this combo. The platter starts and stops on a dime when the 'start' button is pressed and locks into it's speed incredibally quickly. The motor is very strong and hold it's speed incredibally well.
As I am writing this I am spinning 'The Meters Cabbage Alley', and wooow, what a joy!
This is a very, very nice turntable.

Pyle-Home PTCDS3UIP Classical Trumpet Horn Turntable with AM/FM Radio CD/Cassette/USB & Direct to USB Recording Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this a month ago and have absolutely fallen in love with it. It's extremely well made and so easy to use/control. The needle arm is heavy and made very well therefore, it doesn't skip/scratch when laying the needle on my vinyl which light arms do. The quality of sound is impeccable and it's so very aesthetically pleasing. I couldn't be happier and hope someone who reads this gets to experience the joys of this uniquely wonderful turntable/stereo.
