The Best LP to Digital Music Converter.

This LP to digital music converter proved to be the Best in tests performed by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute for providing superior sound quality. The device not only plays your old records, it converts them to digital (WAV) format, preserving your treasured vinyl collection for perpetuity. An independent media testing firm used 21, 31, and 45 year-old records to test sound quality and this model was found to provide superior digital sound capture. The belt-driven turntable has an automatic-return tone arm with cue lever and a diamond stylus that faithfully reproduces sound through integrated 8-watt stereo speakers. Its sturdy wood cabinet has a carrying handle and removable lid and is protected by black vinyl skin and composite corner covers. It plays 33, 45 or 78-rpm records, has an auxiliary jack for connecting an iPod, and a tone dial control. Includes USB cable and recording software (works with Windows XP/Vista/7 or Mac) for breaking albums into individual tracks and removing scratches, hisses, and pops. Plugs into AC. 17" W x 7" H x 12" D. (12 lbs.)
