Probably a silly question to bring up on this group but does anyone have
any opinions on the USB turntables John Lewis are selling?


The reason I ask is I've discovered a box full of 1960s singles that I'd
quite like to stick on my iThings and can't be fagged trying to marry
the hi-fi and computer together to do the job properly as it would
involve major rewiring sessions to get them into the same room.


If you have a laptop available it might be cheaper and give better results
to buy a machine-powered USB ADC like the ones sold by Behringer or
Focusrite. See

for some more info.


Looks interesting but I don't have a laptop unfortunately!


But if you do have an existing record deck, that could surely be moved to
the computer easily? Or you could use a wireless link between the existing
Hi-Fi and computer. That could also be useful for other things.
