 Better than I thought January 10, 2009

The ION LP turntable was much better than I thought it would be for the following reasons:
1) First of all, the sound through the headphones was nice, full, and deep - much better than I expected.
2) Recording directly to a CD made it much easier than dealing with software since I don't have the time to figure out how to effectively use the software (maybe later I will take the time to see if it makes it any better).
3) Recording to the CD was simple because the tracks are automatically separated. It also allows to manually separate tracks if for some reason the turntable missed separating a track (especially when an artist does not space out time between songs because they want the effect of a continual track).
4) It comes with a cover which many others don't (this may seem not important but it really is if you live in an environment where dust is prevalent).
5) Here's what I didn't expect which was a bonus - it comes with an internal hard drive to be able to record around 2 albums. This is very helpful because it allows you to correct any mistakes or skips that occurred before recording it on a CD. It also allows you to rearrange or erase any of the tracks very easily before recording it on a CD, so you can personalize your tracks compared to the album in a simple, easy way.
6) I am a musician and audiophile, so the most important thing to me is the quality of the sound that is recorded on the CD. Upon hearing the CD through my car CD player, the sound remained full, rich, and deep. This was very pleasing to me as I have tried other brands and the sound was always a disappointment, being very thinny and poor in quality.
6) Finally, the price on Amazon, along with free shipping makes it worth the money. I compared it to Brookstone which would have charged me $200 more in the store.
I personally believe that ION got all of the best features placed into this model which was more than I had expected. This is a good buy and the best model I have experienced so far. It is a 5 star product!

I bought the LP to CD recorder not knowing what to expect as far as recording quality. The Ion Recorder is easy to record and easy to record to cd. No hookup is needed to a computer. The Stereo of the LP is the same as the burnt cd. The imperfections on the vinyl is transfered to the cd. The recorder is very well worth the extra money I had to pay instead of getting a cheaper model.

I bought this as a gift so this is largely second-hand information, not my own personal experience. i bought it for my folks who aren't at all technologically savvy and who don't own a computer. I knew the machine would have to be very easy to use in order for them to benefit. They're smart, just no tech experience. They succeeded in completing a recording about 2 hours after opening it. i didn't see them open it or get it set up, but my mom said it wasn't hard. So I can recommend it for the late 60's set or your non-technological parents. Shipping was fast; the box was larger and heavier than I thought but I haven't seen the item to know what the machine weighs--an older person might have difficulty lifting the box in from the outside if you send it as a gift. Not sure why it was so heavy. And if it isn't obvious--you have to play the whole record to actually record it--there's no fast forward technology in vinyl.

Let me tell you , it doesn't get any easier than this ! I bought a usb turntable that works with your computer , and after about a month of trying to figure out how to use it , I gave up . Then I saw this machine . I LOVE IT !You can record and edit your tunes in the internal flash drive , and when you have it like you want it , push one button and bingo ! High quality cd's that sound great ! And you can use your computer to clean up pops and hiss if you want to . If you want to archive your vinyl , this is what you want !!!
Thank you ION November 13, 2009

This is so easy to set up and operate my 6 years old daughter could set it up. When you set it up don't forget to wrap the drive belt under the bottom of the turntable around the little knob if you don't the turn table will not turn. The sound of the finished cd is awesome you can even mix different songs from different LP's. I even hooked up cassette tapes and recorded to cd awesome and easy. Quality of sound A++ and besides my very very LARGE collection of albums and tapes were just sitting there. It not very reasonable to try to buy them again on cd. Straight out the box on the table in 15min at the most your making digital quality cd's of your favorite music. WOW did I go back down memory lane from the 60's to the 90's WOW I love this dohickie!
