This LP to MP3 converter earned The Best rating from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute for its superior sound performance and exceptional construction. Analysts converted both new and old vinyl records into MP3 files and unlike other units that were plagued with distortion or crackling sounds, the Best model’s direct-drive turntable and more than 50 dB signal-to-noise ratio provided crisp audio that was closest to the original recordings. Rated as the unit with the highest quality materials and construction, it had a heavy rubber dampening mat for improved low-frequency reproduction, an anti-resonance aluminum platter, and a dual moving magnetic cartridge with a replaceable stylus. It plays 33 and 45-rpm records and has a dual RCA stereo cable. Includes recording software for Windows or Mac OS. Connects to computer via included USB cable. AC plug. 17 3/4" L x 13 3/4" W x 6 1/4" H. (23 lbs.)
