Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Although vinyl is still a viable medium for DJs, technology is making it easier and more efficient to use MP3s. With a laptop full of MP3s, there is no more need for dragging around crates full of heavy records. To help you catch up with the times, American Audio has developed the TT-Record Turntable MP3 Recorder. Simply plug in your USB memory stick into the designated port, hit the start button, and begin recording. The belt-driven 330mm diameter phono platter is made of a sturdy die-cast aluminum and operates at 33-1/3 or 45 rpm. With the American Audio TT-Record Turntable, you can turn all your old-school singles (using the included 45 rpm adapter), 12" remixes, and full albums into electronic files that can later be used in the club or for making personalized mix CDs.



Customer Reviews American Audio Direct Record Turntable with USB Stick

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Um, where's the drive belt?
This product makes no mention of the fact it ships without a drive belt.

Also, the instruction manual was incomplete at best and completely failed to explain the counterweight, given the fact the numbers on the counterweight spin independently of the counterweight and there is no way to get a proper reading.

This all is too bad, because when I finger-spun one record, it sounded great. But clearly this manufacturer doesn't know what it's doing and there are a lot of other good brands out there.

So unless you plan to make a separate purchase, I'd take my money and go with one of those other products.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Easy Redefined
This turntable setup makes creating MP3's from vinyl albums a breeze. You don't need to hook it up to a stereo system or computer system to make the recordings - it's all done on board the turntable. There are still analog phono outputs to use. Assembly was easy. The cartridge came mounted, but was a low-quality Audio-Technica one. If you're an audiophile, as I am, you may want to consider getting a better cartridge. The ony caveat is, after talking with their tech support, is a high output cartridge may over drive the on-board electronics into clipping. Tech support couldn't tell me what output millivolt limit I should keep it under. So I looked up some Audio-Technica specs and got an idea of their output, and found an Ortofon ArkivOrtofon Concorde Arkiv Kit - DJ Cartridge includes extra stylus concorde-style cartride to use. So far, the new cartridge works well and sounds great. I only need to plug in a USB thumb drive of any kind and hit record. Out of the box, it records mp3 at 128kbps but you can download a firmware update so it records at 256kbps. The turntable could use a strobe light for speed adjustment to be sure you're right on 33 1/3 RPM, but a flourescent light and an old strobe disk will work, too. The turntable has no audible rumble, nor audible wow and flutter. It is a belt driven platter with a motor that 'locks on' to the selected speed, according to their tech support. I use Sound Forge for recording cleanup of clicks and pops. If it was not for the lower quality cartridge, and lack of a strobe for speed control, I would have given it five stars.
