If you have albums that you took care of and want to convert them to an easier to use format like CD then this is the product for you. The ION TTUSB05 Turntable was easy to setup and begin using right out of the box. The package included two recording softwares EZ Vinyl Recorder which is straight-forward no frills and Audacity which has a learning curve that I have not had the time to get to yet. from Amazon.com Just a warning. As of this writing, September 29, 2009 there is a problem with compatibility with iTunes 9. I have corresponded with ION technical support and they say, "Currently EZ Vinyl Converter is not supported with iTunes 9.0. We are working on a fix. from Amazon.com This may be alluring to anyone wanting to convert their old records to play on their computers or mp3 players or to even make cds. The software provided is ideal for both beginners and those with a little experience importing music. My only issue is that importing the music with the USB doesn't provide excellent audio quality. Some music transfers alright, but most of the time the audio seems kind of dull and lifeless. from Amazon.com The Ion TTUSB05 turntable was my first turntable. Right off the bat I noticed the RCA cables were too short, and the usb cable is long which is good. from Amazon.com I bought this for my mom to backup/play all her old records, which she has been trying to do for about 10 years now since her last record player broke. It does everything she wants it to and more, at a great price. Easy to buy replacement cartidges on the ion website. Cons: Haven't noticed any. from Newegg.com I must admit,I was a little skeptical when I first saw the ION TTUSBO5 and the modest pricetag online. I have over 1500 lps, most of which are in pretty good shape. from Amazon.com Pros: The idea is great. There is a need for a good product like this is supposed to represent. Cons: Ion has the worlds worst support--don't even try. They won't answer your emails for help after 6 requests. from Newegg.com The Ion TTUSB05 turntable worked as well as advertised. I simply followed the included directions and it did the job. from Amazon.com This is the best purchase I've made in a while, I originally though that this device only did USB stuff, but was pleasantly surprised when I found that I could connect audio to my receiver and straight listen to my vinyl. Set up was easy, recording was easier and I haven't even got to the editing software. from Amazon.com The ION TTUSB05 does what it advertises, but if you are not computer savy this might not be the product for you. The turntable is fine for digitizing albums for transfer into a computer and MP3 player. from Amazon.com
