| I'm thinking about purchasing a USB Turntable. Any suggestions? I have been recording from my current turntable to a cd recorder, and then transferring to my computer to do some cleaning of the sound on a program I have. Is there any loss in sound from the multiple transfers? If not, is it worth buying a USB Turntable. Thanks in advance. |

| USB turntables are convenient, but they don't offer much in the way of sound quality. They're usually made of plastic and come with a cheap and nasty cartridge (one that is usually p-mount, which eliminates most better cartridges). If sound quality matters, you're much better off to use a regular turntable and spend the money on a good sound card and phono cartridge instead. |

| Thanks for your input, Graham. Do you think how I've been doing it is okay (record to cd recorder to computer) or am I losing something along the way? |

| You're not losing anything, although it does sound like a rather tedious process. |

| Got myself a ION USB turntable at a local Radio Shack and managed to take it back to the store for refund, the quality of materials are poor it didn't perform that well overall. When you're used to the SL1200's it's hard to settle to something cheaper. The price has lowered recently from $199 to $169 cad
