[kj] OT: Turntables

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Does he have the Ion USB turntable?

That's what I have -- an Ion USB turntable. It works with my Mac, but it 
would also work with a PC. It is a piece of crap. On problem I haven't 
been able to solve is that it seems to emit some radio interference 
signal that makes the vinyl rips sound extra, extra scratchy. It hasn't 
worked very reliably at all.

So don't get the Ion USB turntable for vinyl-to-computer mp3rips. It sucks.
