So this is being marketed to people who are no DJs but just want to rip their vinyl to a digtal format eh?

The main thing I would want to know about, but they dont say, is the ADC (anolog to digital converter). Thats the most important piece of technology in the entire unit, but since the price is so low, I doubt it has anything that good in it.

The Amazon reviews on the product are pretty good.

People still buy vinyls?

No way!

Interesting...

I think I'll have to let my Dad know about this for sure.
He has over 3000 vinyl albums and has been thinking of selling them off via Ebay.
Would be a shame not to have a backup though...

Awesome find RJ!!
Thanks!
