Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I did quite a bit searching and waiting to find a decent turntable that I could both connect to my stereo system for LP playing, as well connect to my computer for digitizing of those same LP's. Having owned and used a traditional Denon turntable for 20yrs, I thought I'd stick with a brand that I knew and could trust. My first impressions of this turnable have been mostly favorable....it works with well/sounds good playing LP's and the digitizing is quite easy using a UBS drive and the provided software. Once you've recorded your music onto the USB drive, the "autosplitter" function breaks up your music into tracks. With a bit of renaming, the end result is good for both listening on an MP3 player or burning an audio CD.Things that are really annoying/dumb: 1)the recording function doesn't stop when the LP has ended and the turntable has turned itself off..so unless you're standing by the turntable you end up with a lot of dead air recornded. 2)the turntable belt drive is underpowered....lightly trying cleaning your LP with a Discwasher brush will bring the turntable to a stop. And 3)there is no tonearm up/down lever...so you must manually lift and place the tonearm onto the LP if you want to skip a track.4) the tonearm feels very light and skips easily with slight scratch on LP or hard step to your floor. Denon should have put about $10-15 more into the turntable design to add basic features that anyone who grew up playing LP's would expect. Overall, however, I like the unit.
