Thread Name: Digital turntable for vinyl records
Subject: RE: Digital turntable for vinyl records
I've recently been looking at something similar on Amazon.com (U.S.). They sell it for about $90 (U.S. – and there's a hefty shipping fee. Some stores also sell it for about $100.) It has several recent user reviews, all very favorable. I haven't been above to find any formal commercial reviews. . I'm curious if any Mudcatters know anything more about this.
