Compared to the old days (complicated connections, having to record to the computer, edit the recording, then burn to CD) this is the height of technology making life worth living. The sound was absolutely perfect - no hum, no buzz, nothing. I'm a classical music lover and have pretty high standards, but I have no complaints at all for this product. Having seen 1-2 cautionary reviews, I crossed my fingers ordering this turntable. I'm in LOVE. It took about 30 mins. It's proven to be AMAZING. to set up, looks great (LOVE the dust cover), and recording was a BREEZE.
Have fun. With USB, you plug into a USB port, with DAK, it's the rear stereo input. With DAK, you can. Be this as it may, LPs take a while.
Is it the end of a song, or just a quiet spot. All I wanna do is to preserve my 30 plus years of LPs to MP3 or WAV, or both. ANY USB turntable is NOT the problem. It's the SOFTWARE. Did LPs come as stereo/mono, or as USB. ANY type of software means that YOU must enter album/track info.
The music is the result. DAK makes this as simple as possible, and more; like click/pop removal. Those who try it, buy it. (If you use a 'turntable' vs a 'record player', you'll understand). Hmmm.1st clue. Yes, I do use a Thorens turntable, but his package will blow any USB's away; your turntable, or DAKs. The problem with USB is that it uses a "silence between tracks" type software only.
I tell all that will listen about DAK. first. With DAK's software, YOU, not the software can chose. Please TRUST ME, try [.].
Only did vinyl to CD this time. The machine appears substantial, the Flash Player worked as stated.
Not very substantial. Wonder how long the rubber belt will last.
Just got around to setting up the Ion. Have to spend more time getting to know the machine and trying with the computer.
All in all, it worked as advertised. Took a while to wade through the instructions the first time.
The CD turned out very good.
I LOVE IT.You can record and edit your tunes in the internal flash drive , and when you have it like you want it , push one button and bingo. And you can use your computer to clean up pops and hiss if you want to. Let me tell you , it doesn't get any easier than this. High quality cd's that sound great. If you want to archive your vinyl , this is what you want. I bought a usb turntable that works with your computer , and after about a month of trying to figure out how to use it , I gave up. Then I saw this machine.
The machine has thus far worked exactly as it should have. I have not had any such problems. If you follow the directions closely you will be able to balance the cartridge arm properly and as long as you plug the machine into a grounded outlet you should have no hum. I have had this turntable/cd burner for about one month at this writing. The fidelity is clear and therefore you won't need to purchase an expensive cartridge for it. The machine is easy to learn and easy to use. I have recorded 20 LPs into the on board hard drive and then burned 10 cds thus far. I have read other reviews and some of the people who have purchased this machine have had some problems with the cartridge balance and hum.
