Important tip.
Essy to set up out of the box. We used it to put a 60 year old 78rpm record onto iTunes and it worked a treat. The only thing I would say is that you need to put a 2 pence piece on the arm, or otherwise the needle can skate over the surface of the record. We experimented with various LPs and this was the perfect solution. Overall, I would recommend this highly and I am having alot of fun in reviving my old record collection!

Poor quality
Cosmetically not unappealing, albeit a little on the cheap side, but build quality is very poor. The platter on mine moved up and down as it rotated so needle skipped constantly. Returned as faulty and purchased a soundlab usb turntable instead.

Simple to use turntable. Manual could be better.
The turntable is simple to use. It has few controls and is very basic. There is no on/off switch. Moving the arm across to the record switches it on. There is no cueing control. The unit comes with a spare stylus and a USB lead. It has phono sockets for connection to a hi fi but phono leads are not included. Audacity sound editing software is provided on a CD. Most of the brief manual is about Audacity. The manual is not very clear but reading it while reviewing the menu options on screen it is possible to get the hang of the basics reasonably quickly. Important to note is the Properties menu option to set up a few parameters such as stereo input. Audacity uses its own editable file format. Audacity files can be exported into a WAV or MP3 file. For copyright reasons the utility to convert an Audacity file into MP3 does not come in the box but is available for free download.

If you want to burn an audio CD you will need software to convert the WAV file into CD audio format. This, again is not part of the kit supplied, so you may need to pay out a little more money to buy additional software for this if you do not have it already. Nero seems to be a reliable package for this task.

In summary, a very simple piece of hardware which seems to work well, but be prepared for a bit of a learning curve with the software.
