Well for one thing its good to have a lever or button to lift the arm automatically. Less chance of scratching. But I agree, a proper turntable and amp will do it. Also some of these new USB things might have touch pad buttons rather than buttons and knobs.

I've been using them for nearly 40 years and in that time it hasn't caused me too much of a strain to put the needle on the old long playing record so given all that why can't people do that now. And in any case, why buy a USB turntable? Most of the older models and a lot of the newer models are far better than some of those USB cheap things I've seen, plastic tone arms for one thing so really again, if you're serious about putting record to computer then buy a proper turntable that plugs into an amp, you can get preempts if you need them for your sound card and then? Well go your hardest with your favorite audio sampling software. So what am I missing here? User friendly turntables, next we'll be looking for user-friendly light switches, user-friendly food plates and bowls etc. Sent from Dane's Iphone +61457756048 On 02/12/2010, at 9:04 PM, "john poole" <pool...@btinternet.com> wrote: > Brilliant Vicky! > Much appreciated, > John. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Victoria Vaughan" <vrvaug...@mailzone.com> > To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> > Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2010 1:30 AM > Subject: Re: user friendly turntables > > > Hi John, Go to: > www.speaktomecatalog.com > and there you will find a turn table that will record to a writable CD. > > Good luck! > Vicky > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "john poole" <pool...@btinternet.com> > To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> > Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2010 7:57 PM > Subject: user friendly turntables > > >> Hi All, >> Is there any blind friendly turntable that is available to copy vynl >> records into the computer? >> >> Yours thankfully, >> >> Johnp. >> >> To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: >> pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org > > > To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: > pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org > > To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: > pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
