[AT] OT/ USB turntable

[charliehill]

No arguement from me.  I was just passing along the info in case someone 
wants one.  I buy a fair amount of stuff from Sportsmans Guide.  Everything 
from clothes to ammunition and they've always given reliable service at a 
fair price.  Not connected to them.  Just a satisfied customer.

IMHO, the new USB unit is OK if you don't have an existing turntable and/or 
audio amplifier still available, but if you still have the old equipment, 
all you need is a $5 patch cord to go from the preamp of your stereo 
(headphone jack) to the audio line input of your computer to start burning 
CD's, MP3's, etc. There is special software for the process if you want to 
go that route, but most Windows XP, all Vista, and all Windows 7 operating 
systems have some software built-in. I've been using the Plus! extensions to 
an old version of Windows XP that dates from several editions ago. Both the 
operating system and the computer have been updated TWICE since then.

Plan on about twice as much clock time as playing time for the process 
because you will want to take the time to label the music, eliminate dead 
air, get rid of needle drops, etc. Don't be mislead into thinking that 
because there is obvious physical space on a disk to put more programming in 
that you can crowd the disk to capacity. Many playback units will not handle 
more than 2 dozen musical selections per disk.
