Almost perfect solution for digitizing vinyl
By Colorado Joe
As the middle-aged owner of LOTS of vinyl from the 50's to early 80's, much of which will never see the light of digital release, the Numark TTi is a godsend. I've found no easier way to rip vinyl into my iTunes library, even though I don't really do it the easy way that Numark envisioned - more on that later.The quality of the turntable is very good considering its price. The base is sturdy and heavy. The tonearm is easy to balance and includes a counterweight and anti-skate control. The needle and pickup seem to be pretty decent, and the buttons and knobs are of good quality. My only complaints are that (1) the USB port and gain control are buried underneath the unit and cannot be accessed while the unit is operating. At a minimum it would be nice if the gain control was more accessible so you could tweak output levels in real time for each LP, because they're all different; (2) you must manually operate the tonearm, which can be a dicey proposition after a couple cups of coffee; and (3) it's a belt-drive, not direct-drive turntable, which means the speed control is not precise and the flimsy rubber belt will eventually dry out and fail. But I guess that's what you get for $140.The software provided is basic but will do the job if you're not too picky. I don't fall into that camp - I like to have more control over sampling rates, noise suppression and gaps between tracks, among other things, so I use Sound Studio (sold separately) on my Mac instead of the software included with the unit. I've also not tried ripping directly to an iPod plopped into the Numark's dock - that's WAY too easy and out-of-control for me!Overall a good product for the price and it does exactly what it says it will do.

More than I expected
By Born Free
I love this recorder. My records are in good shape and it transfers records to i-pod perfectly. If you need to us software on your computer to take out pops it will do that also. I have found I enjoy listening to my records on our surround system in stero, it does that too.It does more than I expected and does it wonderfully. It is not for professionals, but for someone like me, it does everything I wanted it to do at a reasonable price. There are many out there that have more features, but they cost considerably more. The delivery was quick and the price is right.Do yourself a favor and order now.

By Jeffrey Osborn
I was concerned about the cheap packaged software that uses ipod technology to initially capture the music. I want wav files only and took a shot that I could create them with something I already had. After I configured the turntable as my default music input Roxio Creator 2009 Ultimate picked it right up and defaulted to wav format for recording. I already had it on my system for converting home made video files from VHS.Being a doubting Thomas, I hadn't ordered the $40 turntable cover until I made sure I wasn't going to throw the turntable out the window in frustration. It will now have a place of honor where my scanner used to be and will be permanently connected to my system. (300 albums & 80 singles to convert.)Useful purchase for $202.00 on sale.
