[Silver Fan]

I got an email offer on this Ion USB turntable from Cyberguys.com. Thought some of you may think it was cute or something....

The pic shows a Led Zepplin album. More than likely, when that LP is converted, it will show there is a virus....

Here's a link to the mfr's website. Frustrating in that they provide no technical info at all. Nothing to tell what kind of ADC is used. The company seems to make a lot of products for the amateur recording field.

Would make me steer clear if I was interested. Usually, lack of info infers lack of quality inside.

I've seen one of those. It is very plastic, including the platter. The tonearm is mediocre but usable and that's probably the best thing about whole unit. I guess a new $100 turntable is yet another disposable appliance. It's aimed at an audience into vinyl because it's the latest audio fad and who think iPods sound great. You know, those for whom music is background noise.
